I spent some time working on the hinge issue. Here's some pics of what I'm up against. With the door in place, here's the upper hinge from below. You can see how it fits right up against the inside of the cowl. Without the upper hinge mount in place, here's the fit of the door: This is with the upper hinge mount in place. It pushes everything rearward in order to fit in place. Which leaves the door looking like this: I tried trimming the mount as @Belugawhaleman Paul suggested and ended up cutting away a fair bit of it to create the required clearance. At this point, it really doesn't do much so I'll leave it off. I checked the instructions for the updated kit on Scalemates and can't see what the differences are on the parts. They did add to chamfer the front lip of the door so I've gone and done that. The upper one is stock, the lower has been modified. That helps a bit when opening the door. The revised instructions also say to fit the door so that it's snug at the rear and has a small gap at the front.
