Richbrook door pins problem?

[colalowe]

Hi all,

Ive just fitted a full set of Richbrook door pins but the rear two are sitting higher than the front, it looks like they are open when in the locked position. Is this normal??

[Vaux-Man-G]

Probably a stupid question, but will they not screw in anymore?

[MuteJoe]

The wires they sit on are bent, preventing them from going any lower. I raised my front ones to match the rear on mine

[Vaux-Man-G]

Would it not be worth changing the wires? Or even making a custom bend in them to sit lover?

[colalowe]

Ahh I see,

was just contemplating getting the drill out to deepen the hole!!

Although I might get out the saw and chop the bottom off them now so they match the front, I prefer the lower front ones.

Cheers for the help.

I think some others have sawn the bottom off theirs too.

I'm a little lazy though and raising the fronts was easier

I also raised mine to match the fronts.
They may sit too high for some people, but I've got it so the vx griffin is seen with the doors locked.

I was a bit unhappy with the height of the rear one's and was contemplating shortening the rod they attach to, Has anyone tried this?

Hmmm, I had the same issue except not with richbrook. I raised the front to match. Shortening the rod might be a good idea.
