    Default 1995 540 L/H Door Brake Seperation from Door

    Help

    My left-hand drivers door "Door Brake Assembly" broke away from the door frame. The brake assembly is in good condition; however, the door frame is in pretty bad shape (missing and bent metal). Has anyone else had this same problem? Is there a patch kit available to repair the broken area to reattach the brake assembly, or do I just have to use my backyard mechanical skills?

    I would again appreciate any help you can offer.

    Thanks,

    Bill G.

    Sorry to hear about this. Check out Brett's website regarding this problem- http://www.koalamotorsport.com. Unfortunately, if your damage is similar to what Brett shows, you will have to weld the door or replace.

    I was lucky, my door brake failed before it damaged the attachment point. Two repair kits are awaiting some free time.

    Cheers,

    Roland
