Hands up if you love finding a broken part when prepping your car for a big event. Exactly.
While getting our 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera ready for this weekend’s Radwood show in Lakeland, Florida, something brown and crumbly tumbled from our passenger-side door striker.
This is from fairly late in that post: “The steel blanks are laser cut, machined and coined on the backside to sit flush with the lock/pillar and shims,” Per explained.
I know what laser cutting and machining are; what's coining? (Google and Oxford didn't help.)
TIA!

Probably this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coining_(metalworking)
Yup, probably that. Thank you!
Yes, that.
New door strikers just arrived.
Details, photos and install to come very soon.
I will have to go in the garage and look now. It still sounds like it should when I close the door.
I need to do the outer door handle trigger, turns out magnesium is brittle. Hello, Rennline.
Oh yeah, you might as well buy some of those now, it is just a matter of time https://www.rennline.com/eps-door-handle-pull-lever-trigger-sku-eps91153194101/

I have been looking at the interior door pulls as well. If I changed them, I'd want to keep the stock looks. (And these do look stock.)
Never heard of the interior handle breaking, probably should not have said that.
Oh yeah, you want to replace the power window switches too, pick up some of the funky Porsche clips for holding the door cards on when you do it. 40 year old plastic gets brittle, go figure.

I believe one power window switch has been replaced but, yeah, should likely have fresh ones on hand.
You'll need to log in to post.
