Re: Torsionbars/struts/gullwing doors

[gus@xxxx]

If the struts are new, then your torsion bars need to go up a notch.

If this makes the doors bounce at the top, then you need to get the
struts that have the "brakes" built into them. My doors open fine
when it gets "cold" here (40F, ha ha) and go FLYING up when the car
has been baking the Texas heat, but they still don't bounce because
the struts stop the travel slowly.

The struts installed on my car by the previous owner bounced; the ones
I got from my local DMC parts supplier do not.

stay up)
