Your braces are operating in tension, whereas you want them working in compression.

Swap them over and put three hinges on each - in line with and attached to the rails, not the panelling.


Maybe leave it as it is but add some braces in the opposite direction to form a cross and also add some short lengths of timber from the edge to the cross braces for the hinges and replace the screws with longer ones Thumbs Up

nipped out with the kids and notices the passenger door would not open...

Its been playing up on and off for a while, so got back and took it apart. WD40 all over and checked the workings... Seemed all fine so while apart added some silent coat as I have not done each rear door as yet Smile

Thanks Clayton, its a lovely old thing which was well looked after by previous owners and which I continue to do. I had Morgans before this which were great but a bit too brutal for long journeys, the Porsche on the other hand is great for long trips especially when the other half is with you Smile

Finished fitting the winch on/off solenoid to the battery box. Mounted it on the panel facing towards the seat. To be sure no wire can touch the seat box, I lined the panel where the solenoid is mounted with a sheet of foam.

Re-sealed the top of the windscreen where it meets the corner of the roof

Removed the cards on the rear doors to get the door locks working consistently again; finally got round to replacing a broken fitting for the button on one door at the same time.

Defender9, a question. Never managed to work out, but with the Porsche, the exhausts come out in the centre of the rear of the car? How the hell do you fit a tow bar on it?

I'll also go get my coat Rolling Eyes

Today I bought a new Adwest PAS box for my 110. The dripping box has been an advisory for 6 years so I think it is about time to sort it out... fun weekend ahead Thumbs Up
