Graham-
Please elaborate--I've never heard of the Jonti Docker door mod. Sounds
like a good idea--where do we find this??

The "receiving bushes" have a secondary advantage, they restrict the fore
and aft movement of the door in the frame.
If you have the Jonti Docker door mod, a half round peg that sits in a
recess in the lower door frame and restricts the door from bulging outwards
with cockpit over pressure, (when the ventilator is wide open) there's
almost no way of latching the doors incorrectly, easy with standard door
fit. Similar;y with Bob Jacobson's third pin.
Fit the extra bushes, they also stop the glass fiber edges wearing the
aluminum pins out quickly.
