Re: [T3] door adjustment?


This or the socket drive type alen wrench with a long bar for leverage. BE
VERY CAREFUL NOT TO STRIP THE ALEN HOLE! The backs of the treads are exposed
to the outside and get rusty. I stripped two while adjusting/removing my
doors on my 62. I had to drill and retap them. Pain in the butt. Put some
penitrating oil on them for the night before you have at it. I ended up
replacing the alen heads with regular bolts after slapping neversezze all
over the threads. And to answer your actual question: Yes this is how the
door is adjusted with the striker plate.
