I noticed on another thread that somebody glassed around the baggage door for strength before cutting it out. I ended up running rails over the door to support the subfloor which seems to have given adequate strength to this section without glassing it. The door itself has a shaped former for strength.
Al,
You may be referring to my post about glassing the door, although you got it partly right. I cut the door out first, the cover it with duct tape and tape it back into position from the outside. Then glass the inside of the fuse around and over the inside of the door (the glass won't stick to the door though, because it's covered in duct tape, which epoxy won't stick to). Then remove the door and trim away the doors opening in the fuse to all but a lip for the door to rest against all around...no former needed on door.
Way better method than just applying a couple of wood "stops" around the inside of the opening.
Hope this is clear. It was not done so much for strength, but simply looking like it should...the way it would if they did it in manufacturing.
