series 2a door check strap removal

Hi Gang,

Got a little problemmette with my 2a.. here goes

The door check strap where it bolts onto the door pillar is 'pulling
out' of the pillar, not it seems through rust though.. I need to remove
the bracket from the pillar to replace the bolts and (I assume) captive
nuts on the back.

Question is, how do you get at the captive nuts? Not it appears from
inside the vehicle, and I cant see how to get at them from outside.

I suspect my 2a has a seriaaes 3 bulkhead if this makes a difference.

Thanks for any advice, Tezza

SIII makes sense. My IIa has tubes under the dash shelf with a sliding
plunger afair which connects to the door to a more permenant bracket than
the later sliding block of nylon in a box shaped door attachment. I think
earlier SII's had nowt as the doors opened all the way.

On JLO (Sis SIII Station Wagon) I reinforced this area after first welding
good the damage. The bits your after are boxed in by the door pillar it's
self..

There are lots of piccys on the JLO area of my site which may shed more
light in what your looking at.
