B Post Conundrum


Recommended Posts

Hi all

Hope cabin fever hasn't set in yet? Maybe you can put your collective minds to my B Post problem please. It's regarding the angle of the B Post. This is not the vertical angle but the angle from the face of the Rear wing, Incidentally we haven't touched the B Posts during the rebuild they were all ok, so obviously replaced by previous PO.

Trouble started trying to get the Door gaps and include the restraint arm, and the door catch. The door catch is only engaged by about 3mm, the restraint arm is about 4mm clear. I compared the angle with a friends TR4, and his angle is some 2 to 3deg deg squarer than mine. The pics might help explain it better, the red line is my angle the yellow one is his TR4 angle. There is clearly some scope for measurement error bur I reckon the difference is a good 2 to 3mm.

Am I worrying about nothing and should I just pack out / shim the restraint and door catch and move on, the alternative is major surgery I think. Thanks.

Cheers

Ian
