door extension

Post by timthetrader »

I have put on wide wheels at the rear so I need to change the top door bar! I understand sometimes people get two and join them together but is there anywhere I can buy a longer one?

I've just done it.....
you also have to shorten the track by the same amount you extend the hinge.......
Or as I have done temporarily used a 15mm socket and top slider cap taped into place.......... :oops:
works a treat.................
You can but a late extended hinge from ebay.de but I have never seen a new early one....
