Jonny-Jimbo Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Hi all,I'm selling some doors at the moment, people are asking if they're mk1 or mk2 - how do i tell the difference as I thought the mk1 and 2 had the same doors but different front and rear ends?Much thanks from anyone who can help.

GreenV8Machine Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 the mk1s had 3 welded nuts to hold their opening mechanisms in the shell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenV8Machine Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Ive got a mkI door with the cutouts in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 They can be interchanged, same as putting a MKIII GT6 door on a MkI GT6. Also one type can be modifed to take the fitments of the other (can't remember which way round that goes though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Mk1 fits straight on a mk2 and mk2 fits a mk1 but you have to weld on some fixings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenV8Machine Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Thats my 2k, mkI with mkII doors, riveted in some small pieces of tapped 5mm bar to retain the door opening mech and the door grab handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I always thought the doors were backward compatible. A mik2 door has all the fittings for installation into a Mk1, but not the other way round as a Mk2 had not been invented whenthe Mk1 cam out.Makes sense from a spares provision point of view.CheersColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenV8Machine Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Thats right, the mkII shell is the mkI with that rectangular hole for the different door opening mech and lower door grab handle holes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc1estate Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 MK2 doors have the holes for MK1 handles but not the captives, I think? been so long :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
