George,
I don't know if they'd work. We had them on our old Midget race cars. The
door flange is pretty narrow, and as I remember the Dzus fasteners would be
a pretty large hole and weaken the door flange quite a bit. More susceptable
to tearing. The other problem would be the depth. I think they might
interfer with the door jambs.
Also, I don't know that you'd get them close enough together to pull the door
skin down evenly around the outer edge.
