Left barn door extension

Post by Traveler »

One of the first things that irritated me was the rear door that did not open far enough. So I purchased a door extension on eBay.
Got it this morning from the post office, and fitted it soonest.

I am very happy.

Thanks Tinus.
Cannot believe such a small piece of stainless steel can make such a difference in resolving an irritation.

I also have the "local is lekker" version from Grootseun.

Cheap & easy to fit... :thumbup:

Hi Dirk

This extension bracket came about because the clever engineers in Japan took a step backwards and made the Y61 small door not clever as the GQ.
The GQ small door opens up very well already and therefore does not need the extension bracket.

Ek sien hierdie is n baie ou thread. Maar ek gaan maar aanlas want ek is lui. Weet iemand waar kan ek so n extension bracket koop? Ek en ebay dit nie om dieselfde vir nie. Ek sien dienouens sê Grootseun verkoop, maar ek sien ook hy was laas in 2016 op die forum.

Dankie
