Location: SWITZERLAND | Door Stop: The mechanical function of the door stop is the same for 1957 – 1959 Plymouth / Dodge, may-be as well for other mopars. They all don’t have an intermediate door catch. To find solutions for this option, the disposable space and the function should be analysed by 3D-Modelling. The main part is the bracket unit (01). Built-in parts the bracket, a damping grommet, a retaining washer, and two stop springs fixed with a rivet (02). The bracket unit, inserted from rear, is lateral guided and free movable along the slot (03)(04). At fully open door, the damping grommet marks the end stop (05), can see the springs to trap the door (06). Not shown the hinge with the pin, entering partly in the door. Left and right door are identical, just mirrored. These CAD-views of a white painted car visualize the function, and helps for design a much-needed option - an intermediate door catch (07). - SERGE -
