Hi, I am looking for some info or a picture of a door stop mechanizm. On a 30 roadster, what prevents the door hitting the sidemount tires when the door is opened? I was told there was a stop mechanizm, possibly on the hinge that would prevent this , but the person telling me this did not have one or have a picture of one. Anyone ever heard of such an aparatus?

If you look through the service bulletins for 1930-1, there is a bulletin with a picture of the door stop.

The Service News June 1931 issue page 48 shows the "Door Hinge Stop". "These parts are for installation on jobs where the front door strikes the tire on side tire carrier jobs. The are installed on the upper hinges only as shown in Figure 16.
