Is the door too flat ie not bowed enough to snugly fit the rounded fuselage
- rounding it would also slightly shorten its height.

Gidday,
I am fitting my doors for the first time. I have NOT "snicked" them, or
attempted to alter their shape before installing the door hardware. It is in
! So, after some adjustment to the door hinge tangs to get them to fit in
the rebates I notice my door doesn't fit the fuse. It appears to be too long
aftwise for the rebate, and also too long in the vertical, hitting the
bottom of the fuse rebate when pushed home. Has anyone sanded the aft
vertical edge of a door to get it to fit, or the bottom edge? I hesitate to
do this as I know I have a history of taking off stuff that I shouldn't, and
its a real bugger to put back! Is there a strategy to applying heat to the
back vertical door stile to bend it nominally more, and thereby raise it?
Any advice on how to fit this up would be appreciated, and I seem to have
created a bit of a problem by installing the hardware prior to shaping the
doors, so most of Buds advice I have already foolishly ignored, or
overlooked. Any other takers??
