Reverse butt sag....

If, upon closer inspection, the door (and it's hinges) haven't moved, I would think it's something else. Maybe the butt-sag fix has moved and needs to be adjusted? Al

Check all your body to pan bolts including the two on each end of the Napoleon hat.

In addition to Bill idea, check the welds where your pan was cut in half to shorten it.  Could be cracked welds or a bad initial weld.  Is shifter harder to move at all? Check welds underneath or pull back carpet.

Can you post pics of your diagonal bracing---on my list to do. Maybe some "How To" info for ll of us CMC owners.

SO, had a chance tonight to have a look........A tweak of the door hinges was all that was needed  

Heritage 2008, I'll get a shot of the bracing at the weekend !

While I was at it, I adjusted the clutch and the hood latch. Have an appointment in the morning, 140 miles each way....if the sun keeps shining I'm taking the Speedster ! I have a few tools and my AA card  (like US AAA) !

I'll grab some pics

 

 

Check out my AA badge in profile shot (courtesy of uncle in Brighton).  Just do a search on butt sag and you'll find threads we posted couple years ago. It takes maybe 3 hours to do both sides.

Well sun was shining this morning, so off I went on my 300 mile drive Glasgow/Newcastle/Glasgow. Truth be told it was a little cold @06:00, but fun none the less. I Remember I tweaked the clutch last night??? Well, just as well I left the appropriate tools in the car cause the cable broke 3 miles from my destination !!!  I say "broke" but actually it came apart. I cut my cable and shortened using 3 cable clamps. They had obviously come a little loose and had been sliding apart, hence my clutch going out of adjustment.

Took me 30 mins to pull some seat trim, undo the fasteners on my behind seat access panel and reconnect the cable, thankfully the cable clamps were still on the cable !

The run home was uneventful...till about 40 miles to go. Very light rain prompted me to stop and raise the hood. A mile later and the heavens opened !

All in all a fun work day

 

 

Although it was not without incident, glad it ended well!

How did you attach the cables and clamps? Straight run or loop them and then clamp?

Sounds like a typical drive to the Carlisle, PA show.....
