Door mechanism or is it a lathe?
An American mob called FINISHLINE sells a pair of door lathes. I'd call them a mechanism or lock or closer or whatever.
THEY HOLD THE BL**DY DOOR SHUT.
Anyway my questions are:
1. Do they comply with ADR's ,and
2. Has anyone dealt with the company (successfully).

Finish Line is a great company and I checked their website and they did MISSPELL latches. You won't go wrong with them.

Not bloody likely, the design dates to the late 1890s!
And Finishline is a stand up company and great to deal with! |

I've had the same great experiences buying from FinishLine. Have never heard a bad word about the company. And, because of the company's history, I wish I could buy more from them.

The latches are originally sourced from an MGTF. If you have a good source for Brit bits over there check with them. If the MGTF latches are approved (even if they aren't on the original car). Finishline or Snakebite are both great companies to deal with. Location of Snakebite might be feasible with shipping costs added in to the mix.

Which, Chanmadd, is precisely the point 750HP was making.....
The original post was on the Australian forum, suggesting that this person resides in Australia. Snake Bite is a well thought of company here in Queensland, so it would make sense to buy locally and avoid the fearsome cost of freight from overseas, which can greatly exceed the cost of the item in the case of small purchases.
No disrespect to Finish Line suggested or intended.... |

Nick,
I was told the original design goes back 50 years from the TD/TF! These were supposedly used on CARRIAGES in the early days. |

No idea ADR q.
Great company, website, bought a few things in last few months. Register your email and they like to offer special discounts on an almost monthly/qtrly schedule.
Good to email them about parts and respond quickly and on point.

QUESTION TO CHANMADD
Dear SIR or MADAM
Could you please explain to me what you consider to be "rude" in my questions? |
You need to find out if they are two position latches. That is required for ADRs. Your engineer may want production vehicle latches used so there are no questions with strength for side intrusion.
Yes I bought as fuel cap from finshline in January. Postage was cheap and really fast. Great service. Would have no hesitation to buy from again. Their site will calculate postage to Australia now also.

I have bought heaps in several purchases from Finishline, and also heaps in several purchases from SnakeBite. Both are good, sometimes one is better value than the other when you counter in freight, and sometimes its vice versa no doubt due to volume.

I have bought heaps of parts from Finishline....mostly i got what i ordered. I got screwed in a promotion deal...you know ' buy a $100 worth and get a free shirt' deal. I never got the shirt and a steering wheel i bought was the wrong colour. failing that no issues.
