Supplemental Armored Door Install Questions

Hey fellas.


I'm installing some supplemental armored doors on a HMMWV that previously had soft doors. The stock hinges seem flimsy with these heavy doors. Are there sturdier hinges available? I haven't been successful in finding any in the TMs.


They mount and close well, but don't seal up very nicely. See attached image. Before I go adjusting anything I thought I'd get some expert advice. What's the best way to get these installed right and tight?


Thanks.

Sorry the pictures came up cockeyed from my phone. I'll fix it later.
