What do T-series cars have in common with the Titanic? The usual reason the doors don't close is that they have warped. There is a brace inside the door that runs diagonally across the structure. It

Are you measuring the actual diameter of the old plug to get 48 mm? It may well be that a 1 7/8" plug is correct. When they are installed, you whack the dome with a hammer, which expands the edge sli
