    just been round mates place he did it even easier 3 washers under bracket works a treat you cant use too many washers as it will bind on the inside of the door trial and error

    Sorry to drag up an old thread, but just managed to come across this whilst looking at purchasing one of the extension pieces.

    So you just slipped in a couple of washers in between the bracket and the body of the car, and that was also able to do the same job?

    cheers

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Added a couple of washers to the patrol today, and it made a slight improvement. Not as much as I was hoping, but still better than what it was without! Tried a 3rd, but the door wouldn't shut then.

    Guys if you punch the washers out of an oil bottle, they are about 1mm thick and you won't have any paint damage or rust problems, you will also have fine adjustment.
