Albert,
Moss offers the complete unit. Much like todays cars, there are items in ou=
r cars that the cost of producing these items and selling bits and pieces o=
nly, does not make economical sense for the seller.
Just this past week I had to change the Wheel Hub Assembly on my daily driv=
er, a Nissan. While I really only needed the bearing, I had no choice but p=
urchase the complete assembly and basically that is the same thing with ite=
ms like the checkstrap assembly.

The threads are great no problem.

Subject: [Healeys] How to keep the door open

I have a BT7 whose drivers door won't stay open any more.  The passenger do=
or is ok.
I have tried tightening the friction washer but it wont do any good.  There=
 is a new "friction washer" installed but it doesn't do any good either.  T=
he metal pieces have been "polished" over the years and are VERY smooth - l=
ike glass smooth.

What do other folks do to recover the friction need to keep the door open?
