I am looking for a right door that I can modify to use for taking pictures.
If anybody had an extra they are willing to part with please let me know

I know it's not my business, but I was wondering why you don't just
fly with the door off? One of our guys built little 4" windscreens
which he attached to the camlocs and window frame fasteners just in
front of the doors and had buffet-free doors-off flying, perfect for pictures.

Guy, can you elaborate on these little windscreens? Sounds like a cool option.

Well, he took some .090" Lexan, (or whichever one is heat
formable, I don't remember,) and heat formed a roughly 36" long, 135
degree angle with 2" legs along the fuselage and 4" legs extending
into the air-stream angled back about 45 degrees. The tool he used to
form accommodated the change in angle between the windscreen and cowl
sides along the front door post. He then used the cowl camlocs and
windscreen attach screws to hold it on. Unfortunately it was not
easily exchanged for doors. I suppose you could do a fairly easy
installation by putting additional camloc receptacles in the
windscreen and cowl, but they might be a little too ugly. One of
these days I'm going to do it cleanly, but it's low on the list.
