Does anyone know where to get the straps and hardware that prevents the doors from opening to far. I've seen them on cars on this site. Thanks, Chuck

Are you having a problem with the leading edge of the doors getting chipped or worse? I had that problem on my Speedy and I read, once again on this site, about somebody who had found an alternate solution. He glued suspension stops that had been cut down to approximately 1 1/2" inside the door jams which effectively does the same thing. Cheap and easy fix and you don't have to drill any holes in the fiberglass.

woolies in england have the metal hardware for these and although they sell the straps, you're probably betting off making them the same as your own interior trim. they have them in both chrome and black metal.

I have a small block of foam hidden between the inside front edge
of the door and the body. Seems to work rather well.

Similar to the post above, I went to Pick & Pull and got a piece of the (somewhat) tubular weatherstrip from an old minivan making sure that the backside was flat. I chopped it into a 3" piece and put some high strength 3M double coated tape on the back and stuck it inside the door jamb where the leading edge of the door was contacting. Nice and cushy now and you cant see it at all because it is black. Total cost in the range of $2 to fit both doors.
Check JC Whitney in the Jeep Section. Jeeps still use it.
