Kingsley Hurst does. He is pretty busy at the moment, but I'll try and flush him
out of hiding. As I recall it was interlocking triangular wedges. The door 
"FRAME"
one, midway along the bottom horizontal edge has its vertical face inwards,
and a reciprocal one on the outside of the door has its vertical face outwards.
He simply pulled the door in at the bottom of its travel, mated the two
surfaces, and then eased the door down, then shut it. They were only small, 
about
8 mm high, as I recall, but I saw them about 10 years ago. Kingsley has seen
them more recently.
Now, can someone tell me why the door tangs don't finish square with the hinge
line??

I had mine done real nice then I installed new door locks.  I had to pull
off the Cabin width MOD from inside the door.  I pull the locks on and glued
the MOD panel back in place.  The wrong thing to do.  Then installed my window.
I should of placed in back on the fuselage so it would take that shape.
