sliding door bar question

[quagmire]

I've taken the 19's off today and have put the 17's on but can only open the door about a foot because the 17's are a lot wider than the 19's so they catch the door.not a problem as i already have the extended door bar from an early model to put on, but i was wondering do the early and late vans use the same bar???i need to know before i bother painting it!! cheers Ben

Dunno buddy, but all I have ever heard about wider bars is there home made, never heard of a straight swap!
