CMC Butt Sag

I spent about 4 hours this weekend in the garage. The good Speedster Doctor had noted mis-fitting doors in my pics and as I examined things, discovered the common CMC butt sag syndrome had occurred. So, I read up on his recommended repair method and since it was a balmy 55* F in Buffalo this weekend, I went to work with some trepidation. However, the fix with drilling the rivets, bolting through the square tubing and sandwiching in an industrial adhesive seems to have worked well. What took more time was adjusting the door latches for the new corrected position. I will post pics when I am back from this weeks work travel.

The real reason for my post is to say THANK YOU DR. Clock for the great advice!!!!

POST SCRIPT: I have decided to keep my Speedster and am looking forward to driving it the 300 miles each way to Carlisle again next spring! I just can't imagine not keeping it. Further improvements to come this winter will be posted!

Jim
