Ferrari 400 doorstoppers - compatibility

A potential compatibility for the doorstoppers was brought to my attention.

Apparently the ones used on a Porsche 911 (1980) are pretty close and with a few small modifications they can be adapted to fit the Ferrari 400. Watch this space.

Well, by today I have been informed they can be used indeed:

It took only two and a half hours to install the door stops, disassembling panels including ...

They had to build two small shims / spacers to be placed on old supports, but finally now the doors remain open ...

Logically they are harder to open, but ... much better this way!
