Re: Doors - Mix Match of Parts 47-5?
Interesting thing... I sourced the plates yesterday from a 'local' (hr + down the road) wrecking yard. They came from a couple of trucks with the doors caved in, but that section was unharmed. Brought them home, sandblasted them clean, popped the 3 spot welds on each of them, re-blasted them (the areas that were butted together) and a good coat of weldable primer.
Now, I just need the location of the large hole and I can use the cut-out door skins as templates. Drill and grind out the holes to match, a few holes for spot welds and we're in business with minimal impact to the doors.
I was going to use small bearclaws (I picked up a set of Autolocs) but I was going back through an old post of mine on a previous build and it looks like I might use a different set of large bearclaws from a 91-95 YJ half door. They have more framing and 'appendages' to adapt things to.
Cheers!
Ted.
