Thanks, seems like I was close with a few adjustments. But going to have to start over. Two of the top hinge nuts on the door were stripped when I took them off. I ran a tap through the holes thought I had it, but now after so many times loosing and tightening they won’t stay tight.
Think I’ll try to weld up the hole and tap it again. I can’t seem to gain access from the backside for the top nuts. May even drill a 4th hole and tap it not completely sure.
