a worse outcome on the left door, even though I did it second. I don't think
it is actually my fault that it kicks out at the back, and I am tempted to 
either
do massage with a hot air gun but feel it might be quite a hard thing to
do properly due to the U shaped internal door section. I'm actually scared to
try, however I have thought when I post cure it all I might reverse things and
lock in the back shoot bolt, and intentionally distort the door by leaving the
front shoot bolt outside of the aircraft. Fingers crossed at 50+ degrees C
it might relax enough so I get a square outcome. So, that's the grand plan but
I have been reading an article Nigel Charles wrote for the LAAA regarding 
upgrading
a panel, where he talks about warning lights for doors not closed properly.
The majority may not have these but it is my luck that if I don't fit something
I will lose a door. To this end therefore, I am requesting advice on what
type of switch, and maybe where they can be sourced please. 
Whilst I am at it, I didn't thank those that offered advice as to what I  should
do to preserve my 7 year old Rotax, still in it's original box. So thanks to
them, and same to anyone in advance who can offer learned wisdom re this next
issue.
