VT series 1 models feature doors that are require excessive effort to open and close due to poor design of the door check strap (the metal strap that holds the door in three different opening positions). VT series 2 onwards have a plastic strap that slides more easily as you open the door.
The drivers door check strap is now actually getting stuck and something is going to break (either the mounting point on the door or the pillar) if I don't replace it soon. I am wondering has anyone successfully fitted a series 2 strap to a series 1 VT? The mounting points on the pillar are different, hence it is not a matter of simply swapping old for new.
I was thinking of grabbing one of the revised check straps from holden and seeing if I could modify it to fit, but if anyone has already tried this (or something somilar) it would be great to hear your feedback.
