[JohnnyC]

your making a small buisness of it

Jim,

What did you do to account for the narrower width of the B-hoop?

Nevermind, I see that it doesn't have a standard B-hoop, just a door jamb piece.

Actually that top looks pretty darn good on there, Jim. Plus a perfect color combo with your 25.

This proves that beauty IS in the eye of the beholder.

But I can't complain, its better than what I have... for now.

Steve, I like the color, wish it was a little darker. Looks good on yours also.

And I'm really doing this so that it doesn't rain next weekend. That, and to use on the other 25 if it ever gets done.

The door posts don't really do much but give the back door edge something to close against. (They don't carry any weight) I lopped them off so they were just above the tub rail and made a bracket that bolts to the original bow location and fits inside the door post.

The finished door. The little hole for the door post of the 40 proved not to be an issue in the rain, so I don't think I'll do anything to cover it. Local shop stitched it up, and used the extra material removed to make a patch to cover the old door handle location. $75 per door. We prevented rain for one day and stayed dry the next, I'm happy with it.
