On my 1940 all I found was a chunk of rubber and a rubber bushing from what looked like a shock absorber. This obviously was not original, but I did find a split piece of 1 1/2" wood dowell with a hole in it in the bottom of the kick panel area. What is the best thing to use?
Thanks

That rubber is kind of like a spring, if you will that "sets" the door in it's open position. The shock piece of rubber is something someone just rigged up. The piece of wood has nothing to do with the door check. I believe those door checks are reproduced. You can probably find them available from several of the vendors. Joe
