Soon to be on a five day weekend. Main job, finding out why the drivers door never looks shut when closed. An elephant would fit in that gap :\

    Easy to adjust! The slam latch bit can be undone from behind, and moved back, so the door latches closer to the car:).

    get a decent one off ebay for less than 100, get a gas one, they cost a little more, but the welds are so much better

    You can certainly pick it up yourself at home. avoid non-gas ones. don't be blinded by brands, Clarke or another entry level unit will do you just fine. I work for a fabricating company and we sell old units off for good money. ESAB, Murex, Kempi all good units. PM if you like
