Title: Van Doors?
Post by: cpcarroll on March 25, 2010, 04:59:38 AM
How do I adjust the front van doors to remove the sag? I can find the lower bolts but I can not see or find the top bolts under the dash.
I need help please.

Thanks
Chuck

O M Fing God---- You are Not going to like this one!!!!!!!

I have the same problem----   Ya know where that little fresh air door is"???

Guess what!!!!!    Yup----that be where the little darlings are !!!!

I was going to drill out the area with a step drill  bit and then use a socket to adjust the thing
My door is soo bad it wont secure!!   And I can't get a ratchet in there to save my dogs

That is the only way I see to get the job done.  BUT, If someone out there in Clipper Land

Has a Better IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!     " PLEASE, feeeeel free to make a suggestion!!!!!

I am just short of welding the door shut and pretend I am driving a Class A.....

Your door sag is most likely due to worn hinge pins and bushings. they are available at most parts houses or a dodge dealer.

Nope,   door is sprung..  Son got made at me and threw the door open!!!

Hinge pins have nothing to do with this one!!!!

Needless to say I haven't seen the boy in two years.

Hey Chuck, looks like another week and we will be going up to Bonanza.

How ya been?  The rig doing ok...

I am having a friend of mine rebuilding my Thermoquad.

I drained out all the Varnished gas from the tank this afternoon

and letting the tank "Air out" tomorrow I need to get two inline

fuel filters and put them in.  It isn't easy getting down on the ground and a lot harder in

getting up... But with my Danish back round I will do it.  I am very excited about getting on the property and meeting you.
We will be coming up by Amtrack and renting a car I will get you my # just before we leave
or the Motel we will be staying at.

Take care, John
