M38A1 doors

Post by Phil4280 »

Hi there!

I am looking at getting some door frames and have the choice of either one piece or folding.

I know what the one piece type look like but never seen the folding type.

*Does anyone have a photo of the folding type?
*What are the pros n cons of the 2 types?
*Does the folding type use the same mounting hardware as used for the one piece?
*Do they sare the same canvas skins?

Cheers!

The folding and fixed doors fit the same holes and use the same skins and mounting hardware. The folding doors fold in half so you can put them under the rear seat or on the wheel house.

I don't seem to be able to locate a set of photos right now. They have been up here before if you wish to search the forum for doors.
