Barn door help/questions
 
I'm trying to gather all the pieces to the barn doors on my panel. If someone has a moment to post some pics it would be much appreciated.

I need to see the see the hardware on the body and the doors mounted in their correct spots. So any latches, latch catches (probably not what they are called), basically any thing that latches them tight or unlatches them. Don't need hinge info ... Thanks for any help!

I printed out the pages from the assembly manual, but seeing an actual photo really helps

These are great thanks! Looks like I'm going to have to do some shopping. When you buy a project that was basically a metal shell with everything gutted, no wires, close to only metal, and you gut it even more, and you do it somewhere around 20 years ago, you're bound to forget and lose stuff haha!

One thing I am changing up is that Ill be using gas shocks instead of the factory barn door arms.

Thanks, Im working up a list now I was going to PM to you. I let my sub lapse so I cant post an official WTB, but Ive contacted Liz about it. Plus we already talked about this before the lapse so Im grandfathering myself haha.

Thank you Richard, got the parts today. Now I have to dig out my barn door hinges. I sent those down to Tx Firefighter years ago and he he totally rebuilt them with new hinge pins and bushings and finished them off with shiny black powder coat. They are still carefully wrapped and in the box he used to ship them back.

I have all the internals and latches. All the new door and window gaskets. Down to trying to find the rectangular rubber gaskets that go in the barn doors where the hinge slides through. They are in a box …. Somewhere lol

Sometimes you win! Plus I found the little gaskets I was looking for.

Another question. Where the barn door hinge passes through the body is there supposed to be a gasket there like the one where it passes through the door? If so Im going to need to find four more.

mine only has rubber where it goes thru the door. Nothing on the body side.
