Door Finishers

I wasn't too happy with the fitment of the supplied door finishers.  The front ones appeared to hit the door hinge when the door closed, and the rear ones....  I don't really know how they were supposed to fit.

I used some light gauge galvinsed steel I had to create a template for new rear finishers.  This was then used to create pieces in stainless steel.  After a bit of fettling I polished the newly created finishers.  I filled the small gap underneath with some hard foam I had from a flight case.  These are bolted through into the wheel arch using the bolt bonded to the leather rear panel.















For the front finishers, I marked where the hinges moved and transferred this to the supplied finisher.  I cut out a section - this was to ensure no stress was passed onto the mounting screws.  These were then screwed in and the door is finished!
