REFLECTOR: Tight door latches

[Jorge Bujanda]

Some time ago Scott Swing recommended that one I find out which pins are the worse by
removing one at a time and closing the door.  Then use a soldering iron in the pin tube in
the door to heat it up and pull it out.  Ream the hole a little bigger and re install it
to cure in place with the door shut.

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.
