My apologies to the offended party...
A while back I swapped email with a builder in So Cal. I said that I would
stop by when I was in the area.
But I can't find the email and I don't remember the name.
So if you're in the LA area and remember exchanging mail with me, please
get in touch.
Next topic:
I simply can't accept the door issue. And by that I mean getting the door
to align. Currently, my doors align just fine... until I put the gas strut
on. Then it just sucks!
I've tried the Hangar 18 gas strut bracket and the current Velocity
mounting method. Both cause the same problem (but in opposite directions)
of preventing the door from closing without manually pushing the door
either fore or aft to get it closed the last couple inches. I've determined
that it seems to be caused by the hinge pads (specifically, the rear one)
flexing when closed and under pressure from the gas strut.
The latest thing I've tried is reinforcing the hinge pad area with multiple
layers of carbon fiber to try and stiffen it to prevent the flex. But that
didn't help.
Just wondering if anyone has come up a solution?
Thanks,
Don
