REFLECTOR: Tight door latches

[Craig and Denise Woolston]

I have tried with moderate success using the tip of a pencil soldering iron,
into the receiving tube, then quickly latching the door.  You do one at a
time and work our way around.

Since I hung the engine, I have always kept the doors closed and latched as
much as possible.  It's not painted yet so I don't want to leave it in the
sun for too long.

 

Has anyone tried a heat gun on the sockets while the door is latched in an
attempt to move the little steel tubes into a better position?

 

I wouldn't be in a big hurry to do anything.  It will change with time.
