#1 Door hinge repair

Post by nefematic » Sun Feb 11, 2018 5:54 pm

Both doors on my ots hit the striker plate when closing. With the doors clearing the b-post, they lift by hand 4mm rhs, 8mm lhs. When closed, fit is good enough. The clonketyclonk when closing annoys me though. So the reamers arrived and the hinge is on the bench but alas, no play at all? How much play is normal lifting the door by hand (but not forcing)?

Thanks, Martin
