Sorry, I can't help on the adjustment.

I know its to late for now but a lot of bolters say drill small holes in the hinge/pillow and put a small roll pin in it as that is the only way to make sure hinges go back in the same place......
It seems there was a tip here in the Tech Tips section about adjusting doors? Worth a check. Let us know how you make out. Sorry I can't help any better. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 46 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 46 | Does anybody know where the Info on Hinge bending to make the doors fit better the rear of my doors fit great but with the new cowls the front of the door sticks out a bit to much for my likeing
