I’ve been concerned about the weather and the potential for the new rear cabin doors rusting since they were installed so I was up reasonable early to give them a coat of primer.
The first thing I noticed was the method used to fix them to the door frame. When the doors arrived from Nick Thorpe I noticed each hinge had two holes.
I thought these holes were to enable the doors to be bolted to the frame. How mistaken I was! The welder actually used the holes to weld the door to the frame and then filled in the weld to provide a flush finish. This is a much more secure way of fixing the door to the frame.
The hinges and edges of the door have now been given a coat of primer. I also used the time to paint the bare metal on the filled porthole. Now we must wait the arrival of the spray foam contractor.
