new doors

These look ok.
My doors have so much Gay plate on the inside that I am sure to
some of you it would prevent you being able to travel in the
vehicle. I have avoided posting a picture since I know that some
of you are sensitive to this just like Superman and
Kryptonite... ;D
What about these?

they look great value and would allow me to get the weight
reduced (no more Gay plate carrying (internal to start with) )
and allow my vehicle a little closer to LATP.

I'm sure that someone endorsed these once on the old forum as
being pretty good quality.

They look pretty good but, truth is in the physical inspection
or other peoples feed back?
The price seems pretty good.

My s2 ones are from paddocks, I have a minor grumble in the bend
in the frames where the body curves, but i cant really whine
about it, because it will be hidden by trim.
Will has some Paddocks S3 ones, and they seem pretty good too.

I got a 2a door bottom from Paddocks for the 109 last year as
the original was well past it. It definitely isn't quite right
as the door stay doesn't work as smoothly as the original. TBH
it's pretty much what I expected, not a patch on the quality of
the 1966 original.

Isn't this the same company that supplies Paddocks with the
series 2 doors and door tops?

I bought a pair of the sp door tops, and they are spot on, well
made and fit great. :thumbs:

What's this talk of Paddocks selling series 2 doors? The last
time I bought a door from them, that was supposedly a series 2
door, it wasn't at all. It was a bog standard series 3 door with
the slidey bit for the door checks and the hollow rivets.
Have they started selling proper ones now or what?

The last door I had was from Craddocks, a good fit but the lock
sticks out about 1/4 inch more than the original did.
