David,
You may be able to use a variation on the advice from Bob N. to leave
the doors on the first latch position over the winter. That advice
was aimed at *preventing* the wood in the doors from taking a new set.
You may be able to rig up some means of tensioning the doors to
*cause* the set you want by leaving them in tension over the winter.
Dad did this with a Franklin sedan that had been repaired after
sliding sideways into a telephone pole. This is a car with lots of
ash framing: 4 doors and body tub including roof framing. It took a
lot of turn buckles and a lot of time, but eventually all the doors
fit correctly. By the way, the Franklin actually has an ash *chassis*
frame, something Morgans are often accused of.
