Door Mounting

The front doors are mounted on two adjustable hinges, which are welded to the main body A posts and shimmed to the front face of the front doors and secured with two nuts. Door open travel is limited by use of a single door brake on each door. Door alignment and profile can be aided by the use of selectable shims between the hinge and body. Shims are supplied in either 0.5 mm or 1.00 mm thickness.
