Disco Door springs How-to...

lerk · Mar 11, 2010

Anyone know of one existing?

Got me NSR door to fix this weekend (hopefully) and although the springs i bought off ebay included instructions, they are pretty sparse (like take the door card off, remove lock, replace spring!)...

If there isn't one i'll get the camera out and take some piccies for a decent guide if folks think it'd be of any use. Might have to make it the second door I do though - the first might be a bit of a kerfuffle taking more bits off than necessary!

At least I am not alone, buy a disco, de-cat/egr, ask about big wheels, fill tank with lard then get some springs and put them in a cupboard somewhere

You need 4 hands and 3 brain's

I looked some time ago but couldn't find anything..........................good luck your going to need it !

It's not that bad just remember where everything come from.
If I remember right you have to take out the window & frame to get to the lock.

Yep hole window frame has to be lifted up don't have to take it all the way out but if your doing it outside i would recomend completly removing it, the springs are fiddly little fooookers

That's the same first page that i've got, for some reason didn't get the second page though :doh:

That makes slightly more sense!

Will still take some more photos while i'm at it, may be some use to others in future...

I've done the rear door on my Disco and found that all the linkages are different lengths, so although I was ready with a camera I didn't need it as they wouldn't go back any other way. Hard to pass on any tips but once you have the lock where you can see the spring it's pretty obvious ... although be aware that the springs are handed!! With any luck one end will still be in one of the holes to guide you which way round they go, but again I found that if I tried to do it with the wrong spring it needed forcing ... it should be a tight, but easy fit .. if you have a pianists finger dexterity and the strength of an orang-utan ...
