S4 door check backplate and buffer

PostPost by: RAJ2628 » Wed Sep 18, 2024 10:15 am

I am refurbishing an Elan S4 SE and beginning to get to the final stages.
Does anyone have images of the door check backplate and buffer in situ please.

Is this what you need?...

The parts list drawing shows the buffer behind the backplate which is incorrect I think. Installed that way the stop tab on the check tube would not contact the buffer at all.

Thank you very much for the image, just the job. As you say, I have assembled it as shown on the parts list and it doesn't look right. I'll change it tomorrow.
