Thank you nightmare and hemi43 for your reply and suggestion. Welcome to my nightmare. I have tried that method and it doesn't work. The hinges are slotted to allow for vertical adjustment when installing the door. As the "front end" is floating (not literally, it's on a purpose built cart) then it will rise or fall depending on where in that slot I tighten the bolts once the door is lined up. I could bolt it up in the middle of the slot and hope for the best but if that's not correct then the top I eventually hope to get would either have a big gap if the front end is too low or interfere if the front end is too high. That's why I was hoping to get a landmark from someone with a solid complete tub with a top that fits properly. I know I can set the door opening with the rockers and doors once I have this height issue sorted out. But I do appreciate your thoughts.
