Re: Door ajustment

Thanks for your input ! :)
I will try this method or the one below with a simple bolt depending on what size of turnbuckle i can find. I found it on an mg td website.

Door ajustment

Hi all, my door do not fit correctly to the tub, especially on the lower aft corner : http://img11.hostingpics.net/thumbs/mini_575333porteajust.jpg On some other prewar cars like MGs there is a possibility to use a strap + a turnbuckle to adjust the alignment : http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/9237...
