Hi Team,

I've searched but haven't found anything definitive on this. What should be "height" of the lip on the bottom of the cabin top door opening. I've seen some reference to 3/4". Is that the consensus?

It's clear that the sides should be trimmed to 1" and the top should be ~1 1/4".

Can someone share what they've successfully done?

Thanks!
 
Seal

Hey, I just measured my seal and with the seal installed it is about an inch to the top of the seal. Somewhere between 3/4" and 7/8" should work for the flange. If you go shorter and use the planearound latch, the delrin angle will protrude above the seal...

I have a couple of pictures.

Just measured mine and it's 3/4"... now I haven't done the doors or anything else so no clue if it will work. If it doesn't work then I guess I'll mix up some more epoxy and milled fibers..

How did you get the photos to appear?
Click to expand...

I opened your link, then I did ctl-click (right click for windows) on the photo - there is a selection that says "copy image" - - do that it will store the link address to memory, then go back to your post and click the mountain icon above. Then just CTL-V ( to paste: I use CMD-V on a mac) to save in the box - overwrite any text what was there already.


You should be good to go. Use preview to see if the image shows up.

If it does not make sense, I will post some pictures.
