Lancair 360 Inner Doors... again...
 
I have the larger inner doors and they vibrtate badly.  (Someday I'll try to get the 3 piece carbon fiber doors)
 
But for now:  I'm in the process of changing the worn hindge to an extruded aluminum hindge with an "over size" 3/32 " (.095 ") stainless steel welding rod.
 
Plus replacing worn rod-end bearing.  (New from Lancair this morning)
 
Considering remaking the attach channel that connects the rod end bearing and actuator to the door.  ie making it twice as long as the origional. 
 
Wondering if the attach point under the seat needs to be make tighter with possibly metal sleeves  after drilling out the attach bracket on flloor.
 
Also, considering making a tiny spoiler 1/8 " or so high and temp mounting on aft / lower edge of door to stabalize it (and probably loose a knot).
 
Opinions and fixes that worked??  (Except the carbon doors which I can't afford yet.)
 
And also does anyone know if the inner door actrator can be rebuilt... both or mine leak a bit.
