I'm replacing my push button doors with the older late 80s lift up handle type.

Just can't get them to line up, they seem about an inch too low when bolted in. I was under the impression that they were a direct replacement? Any the guy I got them off said they'd come off a 200tdi 90 anyhow (unless that was a lie).

Am I doing something stupid? Do you need to make a bracket?

I'm using the hinges from the original doors. I thought maybe the tubes the hinge bolts run through are bent.
 
I changed lift up to push button and they went straight on.
Have you slanked off the bulkhead screws? That's where the adjustment is.
 
I put lift ups on in place of push button but had to change the striker plates as locks were different, perfect fit otherwise : )
