Have a decently accurate cad model I modified. What do you need specifically?

 

[NotThatGuy]

Just the outside dimensions with any radius' to design a lightbar mount

I can send you a whole roof

If you were closer I'd pick it up and get some Sticky Fingers at the same time.

Thanks for the offer.

Yeah you’re a bit of a drive…..too bad, I have a smashed A1 cab that’s going to scrap soon

@wheelspinner - I am in need of the driver side metal door stop (the one that is at the bottom of the door). I'd be happy to buy one off of your smashed A1 cab if it is still on there. I've pasted a picture below of mine (the spring steel broke at the detent).

Those are essentially always broken in that exact way on every truck and if you buy a used one that isn't broken it will be shortly. Use that information however you like.

You have the left side driver kick panel?

I just added washer or three below the bolt that acts as a stop the slide disk cant slip above it. That was numerous years ago. solved the problems. It has never opened too far since. Yup my metal springy thingy was broken too.

Good to know. I do (did) like having the detent to keep the door from closing when parked on an incline. If I could buy a used one for a reasonable price - I’d go that route.

I don't think you understand. Outside of a brand new truck or a brand new door for a truck - I would wager no one here has ever seen one that isn't broken. Buying a used one is a waste of money because buying a new one is likely a waste of money. They sucked and never got redesigned - the redesign was the armored cab and those have gas shocks. They broke almost immediately. My truck - a 2008 A1R, and one of the last soft cab trucks manufactured - had 2,045 miles on it. Broken. So how long do they last? Not long enough to be worth your time or money is the answer.

2007 with 1800 miles, not broken here, although pretty rusted. Have too long a list of items to be replaced already.

Have you looked at the spring steel inside the track? It doesn't fall out and isn't always apparent that it's broken till you remove it from the door.

Got it. Thanks for the further clarification. Usually I'm not that thick. Guess I just live without or find some other solution.

EXcap in Germany sells them though I can't seem to access the part of the site that has replacement parts but I've seen them before
