: Adjusting the drivers door hinge and latch 67elcminopilot Mar 26th, 02, 1:29 PM Hey guy. Im wondering if any one can give me a little insight on how to manage the wieght of the door on my 67 Elky while I attempt adjusting the way it closes and latches. Thanks for your comments, Greg 283v8 Mar 26th, 02, 1:44 PM I used a milk crate with a homemade wooden wedge on top of it. This way I could adjust the height of the door by moving the wedge. (more like a plywood ramp) Also made marks on the hinge and jamb BEFORE I moved anything, for reference. ------------------ Make it the way you like it, forget what the other guys say! http://chevelles.com/showroom/alelcaminofront.jpg http://www.angelfire.com/al4/alcamino64/index.html 67elcminopilot Mar 27th, 02, 2:00 PM Thanks again for the tip . I will try something simple first and see how it goes. Regards, Greg jerryr Mar 27th, 02, 2:05 PM I used a floor jack with a rag underneath the door to protect it. ------------------ JR TC #1098 My 69 Convertible (http://www.erols.com/ruther/69conv) My 2001 Z28 (http://www.erols.com/ruther/z28_5.jpg) 67elcminopilot Mar 27th, 02, 6:00 PM Thanks again for all the tips, I am sure that they will come in real handy when it is time to adjust the door . regards,.
