The cruizer is out getting work done. (has been since 17 nov last year ) the problem was that the doors were not long enough. nomater how i mounted them they just wouldnt line up with the catch. redriled the hinge mounts as far as i could but still didnt work. the solition in the end was to use the catch(the one on the piller) off a 75s with spacers on it. but they don't come close to sealing.

Another big advantage those have over mine is that the hole on the inside of those ones is a LOT smaller. that would make putting a door trim a lot easyer. also I checked the price today frp want $388 ea for these I think i paid about 320 3 years ago and honstley expected more
This is what I wrote in my web site about these doors
the doors look like they are about 25mm to short for a start they had no hope of closing no mater what I did to the hinges. After about 2 day's worth of stuffing around I put 2 door catches on from a 75 series cruiser on, as they are longer and at least let the door close. Then I went and brought new door handles and latch mech's for her. The linkages were a total nightmare I had to bend the hell out of them just to get them in the door. That took 2 days as well. (You should have seen me! I almost lost it). But wait there is more. Then I had to make up some new trims for the doors from hell. All went well until I went to put them on the doors. There is not enough surface on the door's to put the trim clips on! The left door has only got 3 clips holding the bloody thing on. So don't ask me what I think about FRP's half doors.
