Door stays

[pinky]

I baught new door stays as I noticed one of the tangs had broken, what a night mare, no problem fitting them , however they were like butter, just bent when the tang hit the lift/lock bar,  the tang  filled really easily, so the conclusion is that they have had no heat treatment, 

The originalls had stanpart stamped on them,   I put the broken one on the passenger door and the passenger door on the drivers side 

I recon I could re-rivet them if any one has old ones that has broken I would like to buy them please

Pink,

I’ve recently renewed both on my 6. Bought parts from James Paddock and everything was suitable quality and fitted, and works, well.

I should say, I don’t understand what you mean by “tang”.

I am calling the two sections of metal, running parallel with the stay, tangs,

Hi Pinky,

 are you referring  to item #17   in here https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/shop-by-model/triumph/tr5-6/body-chassis/doors-fittings/doors-fittings-tr5-6-1967-76.html

Moss refer to it as the 'check strap'   I have found the 'tangs' to break off with age.  Haven't seen it on a new one - yet on my 4A.

There was some around a couple of years ago like that and they just bent the first time of using, they came from TR Shop and Loukas replaced them with good ones immediately and AFIK binned the bad ones.
