Can i ask ,did you use the a panels with strengthing pieces inside? I can see your using carbon fibre doors but they will soon be weighty when the glass/perspex is in place

[danny1]

No there std a panle's although they have spreader plates on the inside of them but the doors them selfs will just have Perspex windows and the catches fitted so there is no really weight on the doors them selfs, I've been sent more pictures but I can't upload them as I'm at sea so will have to wait till the weekend
