Revision as of 20:58, 28 October 2017
I have raised the door sills 2.5", effectively shortening the doors so that they will clear the lift struts.
To do:
- Determine latch/locking mechanism
- Weld on 2 additional hinges (5/16 x .050) per side
- Design layout and supports, possibly window
- Buy tubing 3/4 x 3/4 x .049 6061
