356 replica door check/stop

You could measure as needed and order some straps from Dusty who makes the hood straps. 

I use a pair of door restraint straps from a Jeep.  They're black (I've heard that they offer them in several colors, now)  I got the Jeep anchors to go with them and they work great.

I'll shoot a photo if you wish.  My door speaker wire is looped at the same spot but it looks OK when the door is closed - everything slips into the door gap.

I use a rubber bumper installed inside the door jam.  Ref attached link from 2015

Thanks.

I'm looking to do what a normal door check does.

Keeps the door from opening to far (hitting body panel  with leading edge of door) and also keeps the door open, when full opened. 

A rubber bumper keeps the door from opening to far, but will not help with keeping the door open.

That's why I was asking for ideas, something one step up, but not over the top.

For those who have done this how about some pictures? It just makes things easier to understand or visualize when there is something to actually visualize. 

Thank you.

For a door check type of assembly, this is what I have in my files.... Henrry, IM sent me some pics and part number references.

i didn't want to cut into my car and deal with building up the assembly behind the panel to beef it up for the striker rubber head.

so I whent with the rubber bumper to keep the door from hitting the body, similar to later 356c cars.

Some sample pictures from my files.  Trick is figuring out the correct lenth/ buildup required to stop the door before it hits the body.

sample from Porsche 912

Sample from Ford... cheaper parts.

I don't know, I kinda like my floppy doors.

They're one of the many things that make a Speedster a Speedster.

There's the crummy heat, the windshield wipers that don't really, the conversation with the engine that's required when you're asking it to start on a cold morning. This isn't some automaton of a refrigerator that just hums along, flawlessly making ice cubes for decades without a hiccup.

This is a machine with a personality. With quirks. With moods. With an attitude. There's no freakin' way it's going to hold its door open for me.

Like calculating when to shift into third, I'm going to have to work at knowing when to throw a knee in at just the right moment to catch that door and keep it from slamming.

Getting good with those knees is just another skill you need to hone to drive this car well. Entering and leaving gracefully when parked on a steep grade is what separates the amateurs from the pros. Learning that is a right of passage. Making it look easy, the sign of a master.

I kinda like my floppy doors.

A piece of 1" web strapping anchored with chrome interior dress ring screws behind the door panel and to the door jamb restricting the door from fully opening by 1". This will allow for any web strap stretching.  Total cost $3.00

A little background, I make things. It's a hobby, I'd rather buy a welder for $100.00 than to have someone weld something for me and get charged $1.00.

I ask because I want to do something, for me, not for someone else. I want it because I want it.

Just thought someone might have done it because they wanted it and it's always nice to see what people do.

I'm thinking about modifying one of the hinges to include this wanted feature, something like this.
