MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Hanging doors

Hey folks, anyone got a good guide to how to hang the doors properly (starting from a point where everything is dismantled).

Finally wrestled windscreen onto the car today, fancied getting the doors on to check fit and make it look more like a car :-)

Hi Malc
Can't help with the door hanging, sorry - but a tip (that you may already know) - get the doors on and positioned, along with quarter lights fitted, before you finally fit the screen and frame - the quarter lights determine the exact 'rake' of the screen.

Not sure if this applies to Frogs/Mk1 midgets tho.

Steve makes a very good point about the 'screen fore & aft adjustment to the quarterlights.

You also need to adjust the quarterlights side to side to fit the screen.
