What is this called and what does it do?
Hi I removed the door frames from my pickup to do some work on them but I had to remove a part from my passenger side door but wasn’t on my drivers door. I don’t know what it is called or what it does but I would like to source another one but don’t know how to refer to it, I have attached a couple of photos to assit. Grateful for any knowledge.

It fits between the inner and outer skins, the rubber buffer against the outer, to to prevent the panels 'drumming'

Thanks for you reply, do you know what it’s called ? I thought it was something to do with the window.
Re: What is this called and what does it do?
I think they are called anti-drum door brackets and I was wrong that they touch the outer skin. I found this post about the same item that explains things better.

Re: What is this called and what does it do?
I've spent ages looking for these in the Parts Manuals for both Cars and LCVs and despite it being a separate part which is bolted in, I can't see it anywhere in either publication, not in Doors or even on the off-chance, Windows.....
Feel free to keep looking, just find AKD 3542 Morris Body Parts and AKD 3575 for the LCV equivalent.

It's very frustrating them not being identified.

I have also tried to locate the part with ESM but it doesn’t appear to be listed however I have sourced a second hand one on the internet. Strange that it’s not listed anywhere.

I concur, its not listed in my ESM parts catalogue.
The good news though must be, it looks perfectly useable as it is.

I'm glad it wasn't just me then. I spent hours poring over AKD3542 and could find no sign of them. I thought I must be just missing them. Rather odd that they aren't listed despite being a separate part.

Not everything is logical in BMC land. The part IS listed in the Body Service Parts List AKD 3542. It is part number AAA 2069 Bracket - door panel tensioner.geoberni wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2023 3:24 pm I've spent ages looking for these in the Parts Manuals for both Cars and LCVs and despite it being a separate part which is bolted in, I can't see it anywhere in either publication, not in Doors or even on the off-chance, Windows.....

Just because a supplier doesn't list something on their website, it doesn't mean they don't have it. Sometimes you just have to make a few 'phone calls and ask somebody. I'd imagine anybody who's ever taken a Morris Minor to pieces will have one or two of these in their parts bin
Re: What is this called and what does it do?
Of course, it's so obviously part of the body shell and not the door, I don't know why we ever looked anywhere else

So we solve one mystery and find another...
It's now got me wondering what parts 19 & 31 are... 'Plate - Cover - Dash' and 'Plate - Blanking - Dash' since the illustration has them on the floor??
Although I won't have seen them on my car since the commencement car numbers are up in S3 and S5 cars
654*** and 1039*** region across the different body styles...

Heater blanking plates maybe or the round one could be a rotor-dip hole blanking plate

Re: What is this called and what does it do?
They are indeed blanking plates for the early and later heater air intakes - for use on cars which were not fitted with a heater
The arrow to show the location doesn't help very much does it!
