Friday was supposed to be the day to finish the right door jamb, But........ I needed to remount the right door and to check the fit |
|
as I remember there weree some fittment issues w the right door when I left off on the doors. in order to do that I needed to |
|
reinstall the Coss door latching hardware, when installing the door latch I found that one of the threads in the machined circular |

round 'arm' that moves the levers was stripped. Further inspection revealed that they had put in a metic heli coil and the helicoil |

edge of the door sill/fuse and then poured a mix of flox/cabosil/epoxy to build that area up a bit, that cured Fri/ pm and I sanded it |
|
to the correct height/gap today. then comparing the left door to the right I wasn't satisfied with the gap at the rear of the right door |

being too big, So... more filler/flox/epoxy mix spread along that edge to cure, When that's cured later today, I'll close the door |
|
andtape the bottom of the door sil and apply some SuperFil to build the bottom of the door edge out flush with the fuse # the |
