Hi, Ed, and all.
My little car is a roadster Sunbeam, no top, so bailing outin an emergency
is not a proble. I was just looking for simpil way to hold the door closed.
I plan on making the doors removeable. I was thinking of a door hinge like
on your front door with a PIP pin to hld it closed (one part of the hinge
mounts to the door and the other at the body. would just close the door and
then insert pin). Keep on thinking or good ways...
