Reassembling the inner door from scratch series 2

Post by niftyrodman »

Time erases salient bits of important memory, and to try to prevent that I was wondering if anybody had a step by step front and rear door assembly procedure. Ive taken some notes but Im bound to make mistakes, concerning the sequence of assembling components. Id be grateful.

It's one of the areas where the old Lindsay Porter/Haynes Restoration Manual is pretty good, even if the photos are not to the standard you would expect these days.

Thanks Mark. Ive written to a well known Minor restoration business Charles Ware, and asked can they sell me the step by step I need. If not, its trial and error. Its a pain but thats all I can do.

As far as I remember, it's best to leave the glass and frame till last..

As it happens, the Haynes Restoration manual is based on Charles Ware's methods and the photos were all taken in their workshops - althought 35 years ago! The book is still available in the UK.

(I've PM'd you)
