Still working on doors. Yes, adding the windows and latch assy. does change the door fit. I'm sure the McMaster Carr seal will too. The doors seemed pretty stiff until adding more weight, then there is really alot of flexing at the door hinge attachments. Sean makes a good kit, definitely worth the money. I just wish I had one set of instructions to go by instead of going back and forth. The only thing I noticed so far that does not seem right is cutting the latch pins 1 1/4" past the "closed/extended position mark". This does not allow enough of the untapered pin to extend into jambs properly. I think I will leave 1 1/2" on the second door today. Then it is on to cutting/building up the cabin cover flange for the seal. How much compression do I really need on that door seal?? I was thinking maybe about 3/16" or half the bulb diameter to keep from putting so much tension on the door. I think I have about 1/16" clearance between flange and door at the top so that will really need some grinding and building up on the bottom side. Any advice is much appreciated!
