Can't resist jumping in here. The doors on 612e were built per plans -
hinged at the forward edge. Along with several other mods or changes to
612e, I plan to convert the doors to seaplane doors - hinging at the top.
To acomplish this, I plan to make a new "full door" size frame, and hinge a
window frame (also at the top edge) inside that door frame using material
from the existing doors. Searching for similar door frame material locally
was a bust ... only found the square stock. I guess I could use it ... but
I do like the "rounded edge" square tubing, and I don't really care what its
made out of as its non-structural. Anyone know a source to buy the "round
edged" tubing? ACS doesn't sell it ... Then there's the issue of how to
make the bends ... square tubing doesn't bend like round tubing does ... how
are curved bends made with this "square" tubing anyway ????
Cheers, Bob 612e

That stuff is commonly available at hardware stores, at least in my area
(Fairbanks, AK) it is. The only differences between what MAM provides and
the hardware store stuff is that the MAM stuff is radiused at all four edges
and I'm pretty sure the hardware stuff is a different alloy. I used the
hardware stuff to build my second cargo door for my extended cargo area.

This should have read 5/8" square tube as corrected above.

If anyone has one or two 4' pieces (or a reasonable facimile thereof) that
they would be willing to part with I am interested. Especially if they
could be brought to Sun& Fun. I believe BobP may be coming and could get
them to me if he is willing. Let me know what you need for them and if US$
is OK.
