Wow Frank that sounds like a lot work, but sign me up and please put me on the waiting list. I actually tacked a washer on the numb of the old one and it might not hold. Anyways, high- altitude the more I think about it, a guy could maybe pop rivet the bracket to the face of the A post if he did not want to burn stuff up welding. My thoughts were the hinges when they close make about a 3/8 or more void in the door assembly when closed-- plus I have seen the bar in the strap different sizes. One actually about a ½ longer, but that does let the door open more, and placing the bracket on the front would be the thickness off the sheet metal, but should work, but again it would be noticeable, but only briefly when the door is open if it works.
