Guys, RHF door is to low, did a bit of searching and it seems I’m not the only one that has had this issue. The solution most have found is to get a jack under the door. I’m not prepared to do that, I’m going to take the door hinges apart and take 5mm off the top of the door part of the bracket and make a 5 mm bush to go under it when I reassemble the hinges.

Is there a reason why it only seems to happen to the RHF, did the hinges change at all between models?

Thanks Trev

Before getting a jack under the RHF door, remove the door and check the hinges for wear. I suggest that your door hinges will be worn. (I have the exact same trouble with an FC I'm rebuilding.) There's a front door hinge rebuild kit you can get from Rare Spares which has the hinge pin, two bronze bushes, and the hold-open springs.

The RHF door is more prone to sagging, because - it gets the most use. And FB/EK front doors are not noted for their lightness.
