Not entirely sure what the bracket would officially be called but what I'm on about is the bracket which attaches to the A pillar down about the height of the glovebox - i.e. the bar which moves into the door frame and prevents the door coming full open and basically folding back on itself - somehow the pair of screws securing the plate on my passenger door have vanished without a trace, and I'm a little concerned about letting the missus fling the door open until I acquire a few more...anyone have a part number or even the screw sizes and I can acquire a few from a local hardware shop when back in town...

I've had a quick look at mine and would say the ones in the A post are 6mm thread with an 8mm head which from a hardware store would come with a 10mm head so i would maybe look for some with a allen key head because clearence looks a bit tight they are also about 25mm long

the ones on the door end have 6mm thread nuts with 10mm flats as normal the bolts come from inside the door so may be rattling around inside the door

it's called a check strap by the way

Buy a cheapy selection of stainless, dome head allen bolts off ebay.

Some of them should work. They sell them in little packs like that sometimes.

Just to close this one off...

Arrived back into town last night from my weeks out and about with work armed with some allen head bolts acquired from a customers stockroom, M6 diameter - 10mm long SS bolt did the trick...cheers guys!
