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 was buggered. The reslut was that the helicoil came out. So now I'm puzzeling over how to remedy it. The part is really too thin (aprox 1/ -3/16" for a helicoil and there's not a lot of min edge distance to allow for drilling and tapping to next larger size (thou that's probably the next step, someone recommended JB weld and retapping to the orig M5 threads (these things came from SA). Anyway I found that there are some additional fittment issues on the right door, I ran a piece of duct tape along the bottom 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 door sill.
