		   Well, it's taken a long while but I seem to have my doors on. Ironically I have a worse outcome on the left door, even though I did it second. I don't think it is actually my fault that it kicks out at the back, and I am tempted to either do massage with a hot air gun but feel it might be quite a hard thing to do properly due to the U shaped internal door section. I'm actually scared to try, however I have thought when I post cure it all I might reverse things and lock in the back shoot bolt, and intentionally distort the door by leaving the front shoot bolt outside of the aircraft. Fingers crossed at 50+ degrees C it might relax enough so I get a square outcome. So, that's the grand plan but I have been reading an article Nigel Charles wrote for the LAAA regarding upgrading a panel, where he talks about warning lights for doors not closed properly. The majority may not have these but it is my luck that if I don't fit something I will lose a door. To this end therefore, I am requesting advice on what type of switch, and maybe where they can be sourced please. 

Whilst I am at it, I didn't thank those that offered advice as to what I  should do to preserve my 7 year old Rotax, still in it's original box. So thanks to them, and same to anyone in advance who can offer learned wisdom re this next issue.

 	Very expensive switch, but sealed and very nice.

Hi Tony

Yes I use a door open light on the instrument panel which is operated by the

rear shoot bolts on the doors, either shoot bolt when it is not in place

will activate the light.  I just used common micro switches from Dick Smith

(the lever type) and once I had the doors fitted just bonded them in place

so that the shoot bolt was activating the switch, there are connections on

the switch for either circuit open or closed so connect to suit, obviously

want the circuit open when the door is closed.

Works fine, never had a problem with them.



Cheers
