obviously you wont need for many years yet, which I can borrow.
See you next week

Don't panic, Ian - I made him take them off carefully. And I got him to
score around them first so you know where they go when you put them back on.
Craig was lucky - he nearly didn't manage to do the scoring, some trumped up
security guard tried to arrest him for walking round with that crowbar he
sharpened! A total Jobs Worth if you ask me!
But yes, G-IANI was generating a lot of interest, and there are a bunch of
folks out there who want to join our Europa community! :-)
Cheers,
Jeremy

Trev and I were at fly today and you will be pleased to here g-iani was
generating some interest. It was shining nicely and everything was still on
it until trev took a liking to your stripes!
He promises to give you them back once he has used them as a template for
his own.

For anyone interested in the door strut mod it is Factory Mod Number 66.
You will find it on www.europa-aircraft.co.uk under "technical" then Mod 66.
Double click and you will get a PDF of the fitting instructions.
You can buy the factory kit of part but the disadvantage of then is that the
new pivot is on a moulding which you 420 onto the door. This makes the
frame thicker (which has the advantage of stiffening it) but gives problems
with the door seals.
The other option is to make your own brackets, set then into the existing
door structure and the glass over the frame to reinforce it. You need to be
precise in the positioning of the bracket.
Having done it both ways now (G-IANI factory kit) and (G-IRON DIY version) I
like the DIY version best. It is not a job for you unless you are confident
about your accuracy and the quality of your glass work.
If anyone is interested in the DIY version I can make some photos available.
