Just went through this. For the ?nth time over my 51 year ownership. Micha=
el Salter=E2=80=99s idea of the turnbuckle threads and taller nuts to grab =
more threads worked very well. New wood discs. It too finally stripped and =
I=20
chased the threads and tried a new nut but the threads would not hold. Woul=
d not bite low enough on good threads.
Time to just buy a new check system($70 +\-). I already have 2 sets of the=
se(also non workable) things from donor doors. I must say the passenger doo=
r works just fine. Always the driver door, for obvious reason, is problemat=
ic. One more try before I pulled out the credit card. Found a thin cork was=
her, half the thickness of the wood one and similar diameter, and it allowe=
d the new nut to just grab those few good threads at the bottom. It worked!=
At least for now?
