They can be shortened and a new pin hole drilled, but it still has only 1 detent, so really not any advantage over the repops. Here are pics of mine. I still have the PS door skin off, so it was a perfect time to get a good pic.
I sent you a PM.



Thanks for all the replies guys !!

Jay, thanks for getting the pics up.

I think the shorter they are, relative to the originals, the less the chance a passenger will accidentally open the door too wide, and of course that goes for me too..... I would hate to crease a door myself, due to negligence or wind.

The double detention is probably the way to go.

Mate Martin also made a good suggestion, making the passenger side short and the drivers side longer, but unless you are loading a huge box in the front, the "extra" opening probably is not needed, so best avoided, as I really do not want to repaint once done.
