There's nothing special about these plates. Will post dimensions if anyone wants to make their own

[Kevin Wood]

That would be handy, Webby, as mine needs doing.. when I get round to it...

That would be great Webby. Mine needs doing as well.

[Webby the Bear]

No problem boys. I'll measure them when I get a chance. 👍

Think I have a few spares in the parts bin

[terry paget]

Plates are part no. 9195961 94 x 35 x 2mm mild steel with holes and slot; screws are part no. 1315557 23mm x 5 large female torx head; you will need 2 of each to repair a door. They were very cheap, hardly worth making your own. You will need to cut the corners off one plate to manoeuvre it into the door. Pic follows.

What is the answer when the door strap starts to come away from the A pillar.I assume welding but I believe there are cables in the pillar in this area. Any other methods been tried.

Even if my local parts department had them in stock, I could make two in less time than it would take to drive and collect them.

That's is a great skill to have - I couldn't :-(

You'll need an angle-grinder, then:
Cover enough material with permanent marker to make two plates, and mark them out using a scriber(sharpened nail/screw will do)
Cut the plates to size with the grinder, and clamp them together somehow.
Drill the bolt holes.
Drill smallish(6mm?) holes for the corners of the rectangular holes
Use the grinder(dremel if you're desperate, or some handsaw) to cut the holes.
File all cut edges to a safe finish. Belt or disc sander is quicker if you have one.
Unclamp your new parts.


All this is hidden inside the door, so precision/high quality finish isn't required


That's about 10 minutes work; which is probably less time than you'd spend at the dealer just trying to order the 'proper' parts

[steve6367]

You make it sound easy, think it took me 10 minutes to get the corners off the dealer ones with my hack saw!

Based on that though I will see if I can make a copy of one during the week just for interest.

Still haven't got round to doing this yet. Should be this week. What's all this about cutting corners off? Not a problem to do. But just curious why as not been mentioned before

Not enough room in the front of the door for the complete repair plate

Cut all 4 corners off and by how much?
