The doors close without the inner seal installed, so this appears to be the problem. 

Many door slams later, I can get the doors closed only if I a) apply generous lubrication to the inner seal and b) slam it down firmly with two hands. 

I've seated the seals with a mallet (repeatedly) and installed the seal around both ways, but no improvement.

I’ve noticed that when my driver door opens fully, it’s rubbing against the corner of the t panel. I think this might be pretty common but I just wondered if anyone has come up with a way to fix it, or do people just ignore it?

Thanks

Slowly working my way through various bits of Bessie and slightly upgrading where possible.. but in all cases, if I change something, making sure I can return to 'original' where possible!
With that in mind, I'd like to take off my right hand (passenger) dashboard 'knee pad'.  It's got some horrid discolouration and I'd also like to do things like mount other items to it (ie: phone holder).  But of course I don't necessarily want to drill holes in the original part!
So..
anyone got a spare they would be willing to sell to me?
I can always get my current one re-covered to solve the discolouration problem, or if someone has a one in a better condition, then problem solved.. 
Even better, if someone has one in more-or-less intact but otherwise terrible condition, then great, I can monkey around with it with a clear conscience!


Long story short, anyone got a spare passenger knee pad I may buy off them?

Sorry, I do drone on..


Cheers!

ps: oh yes, my interior is black, but that need not be a deal-breaker, obvs!]]>

Now the pull strap came off in my hand the other day, so I'm going to need to fix it properly. 

How should this be attached? It looked as though mine had some stitching that had come unstitched, but what should stop this pulling out of the slot

Is it a straightforward job to do the replacement, and if not, has anyone produced or got (or is it on the forum somewhere) a bit of a 'how to' guide, perhaps?

Has anyone ordered a replacement carpet set from either DeloreanGO or DMC Texas that they could provide some pictures of fitted? I'm a stickler for detail and quality and want to make sure I dont spend good money on a poor quality carpet.

Any advice would be appreciated here, although I do need a full replacement set; the carpets are beyond saving before you suggst I just clean them or dye them!


Thanks in Advance.

I am planning to get several parts yellow zinc plated as per original so thought I would send off a job lot 'whilst I'm at it'.

So - does a definitive list exist of all the yellow zinc plate bits on the car?  Many bits I have are badly rusted and I can't tell!

From what I know:

Horn brackets
Lower radiator brackets
Front fascia central support bracket
Fuel filler cap (?)
Rear OEM exhaust mounts *
Water pump brackets inside chassis box section
Trailing arm bolt retaining plates
Main crank pulley
Steering Rack brackets
Anti-roll-bar brackets

(* I Had these powder coated a couple of years ago so won't be doing them. this time)

Does anybody know of any other bits before I send a heap of stuff off?  And any reccomendations as to where to get bits done please?

As you know I recently had my seats retrimmed by Lee Pattison.
I just wanted to share with you all the work I saw, that ultimately made the decision for me to get my seats to him.

Lee is able to perform repairs to the dashboard, binnacle, centre console, driver and passenger side kneepads, rear quarter panels & side bolsters where these items have discoloured and cracked due to sun damage. He is also able to recover your steering wheel and seats.

Lee also has off cuts of original material from CP Trim, so is able to perform invisible repairs to some small items (see the centre console picture for an example), for larger items such as the passenger kneepad, he is able to mimic the rouching with great effect.

The piece de resistance however is the NOS material Lee has, which enable him to produce OE seat covers, these look and feel bang on to the originals and to a quality you will simply not find anywhere else for any price.

Below are some examples of Lees work on different parts of the DeLorean interior.

I know that DeLoreanGo sell a kit - but has anybody recently bought material that is a close match from any other vendors?

If so from where? and was it foam backed or was the material and foam separate?
