Ill-fitting rear doors to Traveller

[Kensyl]

Having just repaired the hinges I came to refitting the doors (which have never fitted properly since a local Morris "specialist" (yeah-right) refitted the wood many years ago.)
Having measured diagonals corner to corner it is now blatantly evident that the wooden frame to the doors is skewed by about 15/20mm and I enquire if any of you Gurus out there know how I can "unskew" it without involving a major dismantling job.
A tall order maybe but any suggestions will be welcomed

im not sure what your up to but the inner corner brackets might be able to adjust the unevenness.... maybe undo both sides and see if you can pull it over, ive not yet fitted my new doors as im saving for new sides.

Do some more measuring to ensure the chassis isn't twisted.

I suggest you find a copy of Classics Monthly, Summer 2014, and look at the section on Project Traveller (back-issues available online--paper or electronic).

They used a technique where the doors were used to 'square-up' the bodywork. Obviously, this will only work if the doors have the correct dimensions.

All the best with it!

unscrew the top corner brackets, and hope you can push it into shape.
have a good look in the book on the morris minor traveller by Ray Newell and Steve Foreman
