Re: installing door check stop
first you have to remove the old one, then merely slip it over the hinge. You'll need the spacers from the old check to insert in the loops on the new check. It's really quite easy

HA! I'm on my third box of nitrile golves! I can don and doff latex gloves faster than a surgeon. Although today I have a POR-15 smudge on my cheek that should still be visible after the car is complete ... This stuff has me singing "Up, up and Away." Seventies paint for a seventies car!

Re: installing door check stop
When you're installing the new check-stop, just make sure you install it the right way around - they have (from memory) a slight curve in them. Just note how the old one was fitted, undo the two bolts, remove, and install new one. Presto!

Re: installing door check stop
Where did you source your check stop part. I haven't looked yet, but if you know the cheapest source, it'll save me checking all vendors... I just noticed that mine is broke (or it just broke!).
Re: installing door check stop
it's not broke, just dirt poor.
your best bet would prolly be used, as IAP lists new for $22 each.
