takin doors apart

Sorry if this sounds looks a bit thick , but I want to slit the doors on the ninety to reseal the two halfs, as this is an ex millatry l/r it has old series type doors and the two bolts just turn when I try to loosen off the bolts so I need to know if there is somthin else to be removed to get to the bolts so I can get them apart.:confused2:

Nope, just did this yesterday myself...its just the 2 nuts and then, in my case, whack the bolts with a wooden mallet to loosen the door-top..

If the nut and bolt are moving round then you need to clamp the bolt while you loosen the nut...

Iwiz hopin for a real technical answer too. Cheers sometimes things are a bit to obvious.

if the studded rod rotates as well then it's come away at the join as shown here



anyways moving onto more interesting things - yer GB has landed, looks OKish, has seen some weather recently and has had the turrets played with but the splines look OK - apparently it came from LR Orphanage out of a 40K Disco (I reckon a leading 1 has been omitted but that's the Orphanage for you)

Excellent....cheers Sean, good photos too, appreciate that. Still got my brothers number? If not pm me.

Cheers Sean , is good to see what I'm workin with.
