I am the guy who designed and built the "3rd shoot bolt"
It does work very well. It actually pulls the bottom middle of the door
closed.
It is a bit complicated looking, but really very simple in operations. Miles
had the idea and will have very understandable drawings soon. Here is a web
page JPG of the 3rd shoot bolt in Bob's Europa.

That was the mod I remember. Is Bob's more complicated?
