Hi Scot,

I did change suppliers but not for the reasons you might expect. See my post
to dmcgreece. BTW do any of you have last names? :)

Subject: [DML] Door Struts Opinion

As I said in a post about a week ago, I too purchased the PJ Grady 
version of the door struts and I have experienced the same results as 
the vast majority of PJ Grady customers.  In short, they don't go 
more than halfway up.  Interestly enough, the other struts seem to 
work fine.

I have now taken Rob's advice and checked the torsion bars and found 
that mine open about two to three inches without the strut.  While 
that remains in spec according the recent post by Rob, it may be on 
the weak side.  Due to concerns about making any adjustments, I do 
not wish to try this so I think that I just need stronger struts.

In any case, I think Rob is first class and I also feel that he is a 
true friend to all Delorean owners.  I was particularly impressed 
with the story about him stopping to help an owner on the way to JD's 
funeral.

That being said, I also agree with the other observations many of you 
have made about the other vendors.  All in all, the solution for me 
is to buy from a different vendor as the overall story on PJ Grady's 
struts is too similar.

Once he changes vendors, I would certainly go back to him and I would 
not hesitate to use him for any other parts.  He is a class guy with 
a true affection for our cars.  In this case, I just think that he 
has a product that does not quite measure up to the task.

Just one more opinion.
