I made today two new door
push rods (fore) with effective
lenght 142 (total 156) mm.
They operate nice, feel safe
and the distance between
boltss points is just 947 mm.
Aft push rods are like in manual.
Was I only one w door push rod problems?

Dear Builders!
The distance between shooting boltss
points (when open) should be 947 mm.
I have followed strictly revised manual
and my push rods are perfect. For example
shorter one from roll pin centre to roll pin
centre is just 137 (earlier 133) mm long. I made
them using suplied round bar and it was quite
easy but "challenging" and labourrich.
After all the distance is 942 mm (both of doors).
Have you any idea where is missing 5 mm?
Longer one is looking good but shorter one should
be 142 mm long to be good and safe enough
(notice: just in my case and in my doors only!).
Shooting bolt of the shorter push rod does not
come out enough.
I will do new ones (will take only one night)
but those of you who have not been there,
be aware!
Regards, Raimo (not yet grey hair at all)
