In case anyone is interested here is what we did as far as anti bulge between shoot bolts and top aft warping on doors:
*Anti bulge between shoot bolts, I know that there are many ways to skin a cat, can install a smaller seal, strengthen door with aluminium plate or Uni, or warp door and install glass and hope it don't change, I opted for a passive pin and striker. Pin on fuse and striker on door. Stupid and simple.
*Anti top aft door warping, I know there are many changing strut position with chance warp will be worst than if strut were kept in original position. I investigated Ted Gladstone geometry, boy with my XS kit A-265 with 4130 chrome moly harness attachment just aft of door rebate, I just don't know if I could fit without major surgery. I opted to keep strut in original position, laid up 1 layer of CF on door and installed a pin and striker. What a slick piece of geometry! The pin is aimed 6 degrees off neutral and relieves stress on door when closed while at the same time tugging down on the top surface of door. It is true that if you left the door opened it can still warp, but if I tie doors together when they are opened for any long legth of time, I am preparing to make that an easy thing to do.

I will not Redux in place until I finish bonding on second wing skin so I don't run short on Redux. Present things are only bonded in place with JB KWIK Weld onto scuff sanded 3M 375 packaging tape and sheet metal screws, works great though! Redux and Stainless rivets for real deal.
