Simon,
You can adjust your door inward, outward, add thin shims to the hinges, adj=
ust the height, whatever. All you need is a lot of patience. The gap all ar=
ound should no more than 1/4". You will also want to have a straight piece =
of metal, about24" long so you can adjust your door and your fenders both f=
ront and rear when viewed from the top so there is no gap front or rear. If=
you need photos let me know, I can send you some.

Subject: [Healeys] Door fit
Healey 3000, BT7 MkII.
So, I put new new =93Cover plates=94, item 27 & new furflex into my 3000. T=
he passenger side door became a rotten fit. Yes, it closed but there was a =
big gap.
At first, I blamed the new furflex but that was another red herring. Actual=
ly, it was the =93Cover plate=94 which was a lousy fit. Looked good, but th=
e holes for the door =93Striker=94, item 31, were too small and did not all=
ow for the striker to be adjusted inwards.
Now, I got some aluminium sheet on order from which I will replicate the tw=
o shims as mine are really ropey. But, I notice that, whatever I do/however=
good the fit at the top of the door will be, the bottom will still stand a=
bout =BC=94 further out.
Question:- is there any adjustment to be made via the hinges? Can their fas=
tenings be loosened off and the hinges tapped inwards?
I am not overly hopeful, but you never know!
Simon
