Gidday,
I am fitting my doors for the first time. I have NOT "snicked" them, or attempted to alter their shape before installing the door hardware. It is in ! So, after some adjustment to the door hinge tangs to get them to fit in the rebates I notice my door doesn't fit the fuse. It appears to be too long aftwise for the rebate, and also too long in the vertical, hitting the bottom of the fuse rebate when pushed home. Has anyone sanded the aft vertical edge of a door to get it to fit, or the bottom edge? I hesitate to do this as I know I have a history of taking off stuff that I shouldn't, and its a real bugger to put back! Is there a strategy to applying heat to the back vertical door stile to bend it nominally more, and thereby raise it? Any advice on how to fit this up would be appreciated, and I seem to have created a bit of a problem by installing the hardware prior to shaping the doors, so most of Buds advice I have already foolishly ignored, or overlooked. Any other takers??

Is the door too flat ie not bowed enough to snugly fit the rounded fuselage – rounding it would also slightly shorten its height.

Tony
have you talked to Kingsley? He fitted the Ted Gladstone door struts, which is a very good mod but a lot of work. The other mod worth doing is Mal Maclure's re the little pips he fitted to latch the door bottom edge closed.
Simple and it works. Don't bother with a third shoot bolt.
