Hi All,
Jim has informed me that the doors have been strengthened recently, and no
longer bulge out on the bottom, even up to Vne. Please take this into
advisement before completing this builder mod if you have a newer kit. And
thanks again Graham for designing the mod, which I am told works great.
If you have any questions please contact us.

All
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?
