    Hello all

    Here are the last pics of the fabrication of my half doors. I installed the hinges on the door, then I bolted the hinges on the tub. The upper hinges used nuts inside the tub (I had access inside), while for the lower
    hinges, I had to tap a thread in the tubing used for the homemade tub.

    Next for the handles, I used latch from vent window found on a pair of CJ-7 hard door.I installed them so they catch inside the tub.

    After installing the doors, my wife and I went for a ride. I found out that with the doors installed, it was a much quieter ride. The wind does not get inside that much, and we can have a normal conversation !!
