The captive nut plate for the lower hinge on my bugeye passenger door is
semi-frozen and won't move far enough inboard to allow door bottom
alignment. I'm thinking of drilling a small hole through the inner
footwell wall to intersect the lower inboard corner of the nut plate.
Maybe a dental pick to clean any debris blocking the plate and then an
easy weld-shut. I've never seen this area exposed and wonder if there's
a better way? How far below the bottom hinge hole in the nutplate is the
actual edge of the plate? I need 1/8" and don't want to ovalize the hinge
holes that much to do it the obvious easier way.
I realized that the only thing standing between me and a $5K paint job is
a paltry $4800 worth of sanding and buffing. I'll be getting right on
that in my free time.
Thanks,
Glen Byrns
