I am looking for these door stops as well. At one time, Eric was looking into having some made. Not sure if it ever happened... Eric or Raymond, do you know? I just know you can't buy them anymore....

I can only offer pictures of what is inside the door, so here is how it looks before and after my repair attempt.

In essence it is possible to have them designed and manufactured by a competent machine shop, but getting your hand into that part of the door is a pain and with large hands outright impossible.

italian manufacturing alert

I don't know any jalpa/Urraco which doesn't have bend door edges because the doors open too wide...

When Frank Sinatra got his Miura S in 1970, he said: “If you wanna be someone, buy Ferrari - If you are someone, you own a Lamborghini”.

my paint is chippen away coues of that open's too wide

and starting to get bending door edges with the paint chip's

Mine are crumbling too. If you find a good solution let me know. My doors are intact, but the stops look ready to give out at any moment.

I think we will have new one in stainless steel in september, I have the same problem on the Jalpa and the Urraco, so we will rebuilt some, I'll send a post when they are ready.

Guys I will try to post of mine.

My mechanic made a set from some Honda accord straps, but any good welder can make them from scratch.

Mine open less than normal now, but not issue with ever hitting the door itself.

wish I had saved pictures of my repair. I took my stops apart like Laust did. I sandblasted away all of the old rust and grease and had the limit straps powdercoated to look nice and prevent oxidation. I then made a set of thicker spacers, prepped the surface, and epoxied them to the main assembly.

At any rate, as the other post indicated it is difficult to work in such a tight, near blind space. Consequently, to make the installation easier, I purchased longer M6 bolts and threaded them through the rear of the part (i.e. the opposite way) so that they stuck out like threaded posts through the front side of the assembly. I chose this direction after trying several times (in vain) to hold the assembly in place with one hand inside of the door... while my other hand was outside the door trying to locate and thread down the bolts.

By epoxying the spacers down, it kept the assembly from falling apart while trying to navigate past the window motor, mirror wires, etc. and into its resting inner door pocket.

Once the unit is positioned inside the inner door pocket, the "threaded posts" tend to line up with the sheet metal "through holes" Smaller M6 nuts (with fender & lock washers) can then be installed from the outside.

Hello any news on door stop's ???????????????????????????????????????
