John Ackerman, showed up to help today, and boy was it a help. John reinstalled the Right Door handles and latches, temporarilly installed the screws in the cabin door frame to hold it steady, and then instaled the Right door back on the Fuse. Meanwhile I fitted the linkage for the left door. Tapped 5/16 24 the latch pins and then cut off some bolts and threaded them into the latch pins. before inserting the pins, I chucked them into a drill and then ran them against the sander to put a point on each, This point will be used to mark/scribe a 'center-point' for placing the corresponding holes in the door frame (tomorrow's task. Fitting the door handles is not complicated, but it take sa lot of time doing the trial and error install/removal cycle. I also had to remove quite a bit of fiberglass from th elower door recess, where the aft link pin linkage was interferring. I' had to do the same on the other door only not as much. I'll put a 'bubb;e over both of them when I get the fiberglass out in a few days. finally got the Left door working and the linkages the right length, and reinstalled the door back on the fuse. Should be ready to locate and attach the dooframe cabin pin blocks tomorrow.
