Martin M Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Hi all, the doors have to be reassembled after they were dismantled years ago. There is a nice guide (body notes) how to do this. But, your experiences, is it better to reassemble the door on a workbench or having the door mounted to the car? Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPearce Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I'd do it on the car. The doors are heavy enough as bare shells, why make them even more cumbersome for fitting and alignment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin M Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Completing the door worked quite nicely. However, if I wind up the window glass fully, it protrudes the gutter. Is there a kind of stop? Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimp my vit Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Yes the door glass has a stop and can be seen in fig 35 of those notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin M Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Thank you very much !!! I read these notes many times, but overlooked this. I´m sure it was not mounted on my doors. Had some pics from the doors "before dismantling" and there was nothing. Thanks again. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddersgk Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Hi, Do you have a link to the notes mentioned above please? I am rebuilding my Spitfire and could do with some guidance. Thanks very much. David R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
