Hey list,



I'm mentally preparing for the great door edge fill/sand and I'm curious what size gap you'd recommend around the edge of the door---0.020", 0.040", 0.060"?



Thanks,

David

David,



Just walked down and measured mine - about 0.050.



For the last step in this I put a thin layer of mico over the entire door

and cabin top gap (door shut and locked).  After it set up a little I took a

razor and cut along the gap.  It needs to set up enough so it is like

cutting clay.  After the mico cures then do a final sand.  This provided a

means to have a very uniform and level fit.



This is also a good process to have a perfect oil door fit.



After all that - you then get to chase pin holes for a few weeks.



Carl

Lot's of great information and quality work here!  I think I'll shoot for .040" or so and see where it ends up.

I think mine is about .050-.060". Paint will close the gap some and you'll want some expansion room.
