Hi All,   

It's 25 years or so since I built my mono so things are a little hazy but all the talk about slide hammers, heat guns etc sounds pretty horrific to me.   

As you are talking in terms of 1 - 2 mm, why not shorten the flap - at the tip end of course - allowing it to move outwards?   

 The "springiness" in the flap hinges would accept that without damage, I would think, or adding spacers might be best    

The glass flange at the flap tip could stand a mil. or two sanding-off without weakening.   

Good luck with whatever way you fix it.   

All the best,   

Ron jones.
