Those doors came out real nice. Can you get a closer shot of the latch? I was wondering about the arm rest height also. Looks good though.67 Bronco blue - LS 6.0, 6l90, & atlas (working on it)

Patrick,
Those look great!
How did the overall lenght turn out? Looks like a good fit. I was looking at FM's latch brackets on Thursday, and they wrap around (horizonal instead of vertical). I think the spacing on the diagonals turned out great.

Cool, I'm glad you guys like them.
69crawler-I don't have the latches attached to the doors yet. They are just sitting there for mock up. Once I figure out how to mount them, I'll snap some pics.Comment

I really like 'em. Great design...“I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.” TJComment

I got one of the latches all done yesterday. I notched into the tube so I could inset the latch into the tube a little. Just trying to minimize the size of the latch enclosure. I also cut all of the unnecessary stuff off the latch to make it as simple and small as possible. I didn't think that it was necessary to lock my tube doors! LOL!
Here is what I came up with.Attached FilesComment

Very nice, after the first pics I was wondering how the latches were going to turn out. Have you thought about cutting some sheet metal/aluminum skins for them and attaching them w/ quarter turn fastners to make them quick on and off.Attached Files69, 342 EFI, C4, NP203, D20, 4.5" SL, 2" BL, 4.88 9" 35 spline ARB, 4.88 HP D44, WAH, ARB, CTM's, front disc , 37 x 14.50 Toyo MT, Ram Assist, and rear 4-linkComment

Hey those are very nice. Glad to see you keeping up
now you need to practice wrapping them in seran wrap to make the interior waterproof.

Most speed shops sell them. Summit and Jegs have them.
Try to get the ones that hold the buttons in so you don't have to worry about loosing them.Last edited by highlander; 03-26-2007, 05:41 PM.69, 342 EFI, C4, NP203, D20, 4.5" SL, 2" BL, 4.88 9" 35 spline ARB, 4.88 HP D44, WAH, ARB, CTM's, front disc , 37 x 14.50 Toyo MT, Ram Assist, and rear 4-linkComment

Funny that you mention that. My plan is to buy some stock door skins and mount them to the tube doors in the winter. That way from the outside, it will look just like a stock door!

I would, but I don't have a bender. Besides that, you might be 100 years old by the time I got them done.
