Has anyone got a line on some M4 doors. I am about to go patroller doors and hate the thought of cutting into my doors for the windows. If I could get a set of m4 doors for a reasonable price and make them Patroller doors it might be worth the trouble of not slicing into my nice paint job. JUST THOught I'd ask.
Doors are built to the airframe. If you do the doors correctly, your paint won't show a mark. Get the drawings from Maule and you'll have new patrollers in a weekend or two evenings with basic shop tools, hardware from Ace and plexiglass from your local glass supply.
Hi Jeremy, Already got the drawings . I just hate to alter the stock doors . I know I probably never will go back to the old but it was just a thought.
You won't go back to the stock doors and you can use the panels that you will unclip, and glue a vynyl backing to them so seen from the outside they look Ok if you clip them back on some very cold day or for a queasy passenger.
i worried about the cold also, and kept my interior panels handy.
but after several hours flying at 25 below with just the patroller glass, i have found it to be just fine.
enjoy.
