Stop Censorship
|
|
The Music and Movie industries attempt to disable
the internet and truncate your freedom of speech using
US legislation nicknamed SOPA, PIPA and as of April 2012, CISPA.
|
|
ACTA is just as bad (perhaps worse) and
and an attempt is in progress to get it approved by governments
all over the world.
|
|
The DMCA law in the US is equally bad and was
written by the same industries but
I don't document the law or its bad effects on
the world's people here.

See my censorship web page with its
links to more information on how vital it is to stop PIPA, SOPA, and ACTA.

Door Pull
The door pull is a U-shaped bit of steel (14 gauge?, perhaps 10
inches long, 1/2 inch wide) covered
by the blue vinyl of the inside door panel.
The picture actually shows the steel uncovered (a bit of surface rust
too) inside the door pocket. See arrow, and perhaps you can
see the hole in the steel band.
The factory just screwed thru the two holes in the steel into the very
thin fiberglass. This did not seem very strong to me, given the
weight of the windows and window motor.
So I made two small bits of .040 inch thick aluminum,
each a rectangle
about 1.5 in. wide x .75 in. tall with holes for pop rivets,
a center hold, and a spring clip which accepts a screw.
Note the inch scale for reference.
Clip on the clip, pop rivet to the door-pull sides (on the Inside
of the door), and one has
a firm item to screw into to hold the door pull steel.
Here is a picture after riveting.
All the pop rivets do is hold it in place when the inner door
panel is out for maintenance.
Door Windows
A new 'nose' for a pop riveter
to help fasten the window frames into the door is on
the tools page.
