Has anyone else not got door guides?
I was prompted to look at my car after reading Hillel Levin's account in "Grand Delusions" of CR Brown's QAC's:
"Part of the door problem would be solved by one of Brown's homemade solutions- a metal guide over each latch. But until the molds for the guides were made in Belfast, he had an elderly Irvine machinist make them individually out of metal. Each week, the man showed up with the latest batch in apaper bag, taking $40 cash for each set"...
Anyway, I looked at my car (VIN 814)- none... (But the doors open and shut really nicely)
But maybe I have later doors fitted, as there are threaded holes for them...
Any info? I think Leif Montin said there were at least 3 types fitted (but one part no). 1x metal type and 2x plastic?
I just found it interesting,
