Thanks John, I was thinking pretty much the same thing about fitting the door to the opening. The lower hinge actually will still bolt to the inside of the door with the outer panel removed. That may give me all I need to align the hinge opening on the new panel to the opening. Its all trial & error anyway I guess.

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)
