    Doors are an amazing fit for fibreglass.

    Are the doors hinged? Id be interested to see them in more detail if so.

    Yes, they are hinged. Ben Speechley has done the hinges, and Craig Tomkinson had the doors made. I've seen the doors in person and they really are excellent.

    As Colin said.

    Yes they act like normal doors!! That was one of the pre-requisites when they were made, they had to look, fit and work like standard doors.

    Ben's made me a set of the hinges to go onto my carbon doors. I'm hoping they will be lighter and better fitting than my current ones (cut off a standard Nova door).

    House - a question for you..........

    Did you think about modifying your front turrets to allow fitment of a slotted castor/camber adjustable top mount, rather like Jezz Francis has done on his Nova?

    I'm looking into it for my car, but there's not a lot of room in a standard Nova turret. About 150mm maximum diameter available, when most of the top mounts available seem to be 160-175mm diameter.

    Ben and I have just discussed this very thing mate. I'm looking at having a set of top mounts made up that are "under slung" (for want of a better description) so the top is flat and can sit up under the turret top and allow max adjustment.

    It will still require some adaption to the hole through the middle of the turret but should be good enough to get all the angles we need.

    I'll sort some pics once it's decided upon
