Test fit of the air ward hinge modification (reinforcement plates on both sides of the door and of the canopy.
As i had to put a little bead of flox to glue together the internal reinforcement plate to the door hinge, i used the excess to fill some little holes on the left door.
In addition i corrected the left door as it was a little bit out of alignment as on the backward hinge the door was lower than the canopy. Therefore i prepared two shims from 040 Aluminium as suggested in the Kit Instructions. Result is much better and it improved the alignment on the front side of the left door.
I checked also the right door but i don't see any need for shimming.
