Progress.

So the left door is done and being fitted for adjustments.



The frame that houses the door is complete, it has the slots to guide the door.



The track is a slot cut into the 1/8" ply that has the 1/32 birch ply laminated to it.



The hardware is brass soldered to make a linkage frame, plus this is threaded to receive the 2-56 button head shrews.
2-56 screws, and servo grommets.



The doors have the carbon fiber laminated to the 1/32 ply.



To reinforce the joint I use tine as a L bracket, this works good.



I did two slots instead of just one. The first one is strait and guides the door level backwards. The second is lower and guides the door level until it starts to open and then it dips down.

I like this so I can make the servo linkage on the upper one that is strait so it is pulling or pushing strait, no binding this way.



So all together and ready to drop in for final fitting.



I had to redo the mounting bracket to get the proper fit. I made it more compact.
This is glued in.



With the mount glued in I just drop the door assembly in and temp bolt it down.



I had the bracket for the linkage on backwards in the previous pics it was on the lower track, now it is on the upper strait track.

Pushrod lines up well. Not sure if I will use a servo or the liner actuator. The actuator will be smoother and I will have more control so we will see.



Here is a short vid of the working door.
