- A group of builders are working on a hinge cover, see OnShape CAD project, check fit using this 1:1 print pdf file
- The plans provide instructions for fitting the hinges to the LHS door, and Step 3 provides the positions for the WD-1019-L and WD-1019-R hinges. The plans then instruct the builder to 'repeat this step for the right side door hinges'. Note: the WD-1019-L hinge must be placed Forward side, and the WD-1019-R hinge must be placed Aft side of the doors, not Left and Right as the part naming would suggest.
