Ian,
I am not going to touch that statement with a ten foot pole - but, trying
to be international, I have heard anatomical references such as bum, arse,
cheeks, etc. - never bot. Oh well, time to learn another
"term-of-art."

I am accumulating the material to make a new door
which will fit over the Outback Gear, with a good clearance. I have also
ordered a rod end with a 3/16" thread and some stainless steel hinge. If
brute force and ignorance will fix it I should have it fixed!

If this helps - I originally fastened my inner door hinges with pop
rivets to the cockpit closeout rib (Lancair approved method) and, over
time, saw the forward rivets work harden and shear and the left hinge develop a
crack. So..... the hinge was replaced and the pop rivets were drilled out
and replaced with AN10 bolts. I have not had a problem since. On
approach, the gear is always dropped between 120 and 115 KIAS usually
resulting in speeds of 100 KIAS or less afterwards.
