I have two new door checkers that fit all 1st generation FT86 platforms.

What is a Door Checker? It is that spring-loaded strap that you see in the inner front of each door between the hinges. It has the 3 detents that are supposed to hold the doors in place when you open them. Unfortunately, the detents get worn down because they are made of plastic. The wear reveals itself when you open the door, feel the spring grab the detent yet the door will not stay in place and usually shuts, sometimes on your leg as you are getting out. A nuisance problem to be sure. The door checkers work on either side. Selling for $30 each shipped. I take PayPal and will cover the charges.
