RP owners feast your eyes on Martin’s handiwork. Chances are you will never see any another as per original.
For many cars the wood and much of the metal vanished decades ago and the replacement patchwork is anyones guess. The original construction is certainly a curious puzzle; I wondered what had prompted such an arrangement. Whilst not attempting anything approaching Martins work, just to acheive something functional I spent ages pondering the timber scraps on my car. To set and hold twist was a major challenge. I wish I had thought of Ruairidh’s novel device.
The life of the doors of any RP kept outside was strictly limited. The quality of construction did not match the gearbox and most other uprated mechanical parts.
PS How many times can the tabs be rebent?
