Who has used VFN doors and what latches and handles did you use? Pictures would be great. Thanks John.

I think I used Chassis Eng C/E4120.( any similar style will do) I welded the tubes to 4x4 ish steel plates and bolted to cars original hinge mount. The plate will move around as hinge would.
I also reinforced inner hinge panel on doors to stiffen, as doors hang at that point. Rich
