The doors were nearly impossible to close from the outside, totally impossible from the inside. Found out though that if you leave them locked for a few weeks, the seals settle and compact. No problem now! Will still bolt a wooden knob on the inside back to be able to pull the back end in. -------- Jeroen http://www.europaowners.org/main.php?g2_itemId=44165 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=463962#463962 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:58:35 AM PST US From: trevannan Subject: Europa-List: Hi All I would like to share a little problem solver . I am tidying my classic Europa redoing the upholstery , new fuel measuring and putting extended luggage bay in. I wanted to empty the fuel tank, for the fuel mod and decided to take my capacitance gauge mod out. To my surprise there was a lot of bits in bottom of the tank and a layer of fuel. Some of this was bits from sealing the cap gauge in originally now dislodged but some just bits. I have always been strict on filtering my fuel when filling from cans. Now vacuuming the tank out would be a wee bit on the dangerous side, I put my memory to work. Years ago I did a bit of diving and remembered the use of airlifts to lift sand etc underwater. So I got a couple meters of 15mm plastic pipe and drilled a hole about 450mm from one end call it A and inserted my airline air nozzle facing A into drilled hole then placed other end B into tank . When I pulled trigger on the air nozzle it worked sucked up the bit of fuel and debris, it also picked up after all fuel was sucked out , leaving me with a clean tank. I hope someone will find this of some use ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:00:02 AM PST US From: "A. Buess Aviatik" Subject: AW: Europa-List: Door seals Will, I had the same situation (XS fuselage), but found that only the lower horizontal seals caused the problem. I stayed with the original seals on top and on the sides, replaced the lower seals by a thin version: problem solved, the doors close easily.

Dezember 2016 17:53 An: europa-list@matronics.com Betreff: Europa-List: Door seals I set up the doors and they open and close fine...nice tight fit and flush. Without the seal. With the seal (without transparency) i have to lean most of my weight down to get the shoot bolts in. This is obviously going to be hard with the windows in and my concern is not engaging the rear bolt by mistake causing the door to depart. Had anybody had the same problem? I am thinking of finding an alternative seal.

I seem to have the same problem as Remi but even worse. I've purchased my rubber mounts from Europa in 2012. I'm also considering to reinstall the old ones - odd enough!
