Correction, checked again, and indeed my center pin does pull the door in
enough
to cause the rear pin to interfere against the stock door rebate in the worst
case. So i guess the center pin does indeed have the same effect as the new
uglymod. :-)
Cheers,
Pete

One of his early modifications means that this aircraft has THREE bolts securing
each door - there is one in the middle - Also the hydraulic lifter was
repositioned

time making the doors fit well, so the doors close properly each time, every
time
and do not bulge out that I understand was a problem from the native design.

should not each builder decide if a change should be made and how it should
be done, with your UK LAA just suggesting a possible fix ?

through careful experimenting ?
