Early, pre 63 ones were paper mache, then they went on to cream coloured plastic. Late vans had a black one. Finding a really nice condition one is getting tricky nowadays.

Re: Any one know what this bit is?
Have you got the other plate the one that fits on top of the strap the one in the photo fits under the door strap
Re: Any one know what this bit is?
If you look closely you can see the black retainer wrapping over the door seal beneath the blue strap.

And here's a shot showing the blue cover piece over the strap.

Re: Any one know what this bit is?
The check strap plate in the picture is a stiffener to protect the door seal from the rubbing action of the check strap and goes on first followed by the strap itself the strap has a thin cover/load spreader trim piece that goes on top all held on with two countersunk machine screws.

Re: Any one know what this bit is?
Ok here are 2 more for you.
I don't think the sound proofing is off the roof because I have already fitted that.
Any ideas???

Re: Any one know what this bit is?
The piece of soundproofing looks to me as if it goes underneath the rear seat squab?
