Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi all,

The drivers door on my travellor doesn't close properly - it seems to be a problem with the spring on the chrome catch on the car body - it doesn't seem as springy as it should and so although it holds the door closed the door has a large gap. I'm not explaining this well and hope someone understands what I mean! Any suggestions welcome, or info on how/where I can get hold of one of these little catches.

Best wishes

William

The little catch is only a safety - it should really be latching on the main body of the chrome thing.

Yes, as Alex says the door should go fully past the chrome catch and actually lock on at the back of it - sounds like you need to push the door harder or adjust the chrome catch outwards slightly.

Slacken the two philips screws slightly and move the catch outwards a little. Tighten the screws and try again. Keep trying until you get the best fit. Be careful not to damage the screw heads.
