For those who are not using the metal blocks in place of the delrin blockin the door frame: There appears to be enough variability in door construction that the standard c-1012 and c-1011 are not always long enough to penetrate the complete door frame (i.e. delrin, glass and aluminum). For my money I like to see .25" of complete tube in the door jamb. Because of the length of the tube or the bevel, the supplied pins are short by .25-.375. I am making the suggestion to Vans to lengthen these by that amount and allow the builder to shorten to fit as opposed to my personal solution to buy material and machine as required.

I'm within one to two hours from seeing how all this comes together and I am surprised that the pins do not penetrate all three structures. Still haven't gotten to the part about how far the threaded bolts stick out of the pins, and why did I have to make a run to the hardware store for these bolts???

The pins may not penetrate all three materials. My left rear pin engaged by the .25" minimum but the other three did not; the bevel in the right rear ran right to the edge of the aluminum; not sufficient for me. The only thing I can figure is that location of the handle can effect these lengths. The instructions requiring centering the handle in the box but of course the box location is determined by where the inner shell is glued to the outer shell. The appropriate holes on the shell halves were faint and flat so there is some variability there. By Friday the doors shoudl be ready to go back on.

Again, I did not thread the rods, just stuck a pencil in the hole with a bit of masking tape to make it firm and centered, and marked away -- it came out perfect.
Using someone else's idea, I carved out the BACKSIDE of where the toothed bar retracts, and also a bit of the teflon (where the retaining pin on the toothed bar and the split end of the rod bumps in full open position) so that the pins can retract to the maximum -- which allows you to set the rod at maximum penetration in closed position (make sure they're set on the absolute last possible tooth). In open position, the inside handle is at about 130 degrees instead of 90.
I get full penetration through all three structures. No threads. The taper pulls the door in snug with no help at all, no movement at all once it's shut. This weekend we'll temporarily install the provided weather strip with double sided carpet tape to see if we can accomplish the same fit. I can probably post pictures later if there's interest.
This is not the right thread, but I gotta tell ya, I very much appreciate the info on the crashes, and it's VERY sobering if not downright discouraging.
Later, - Lew

NO one ever answerred my question to this email below I sent a week or so ago.
Thanks!
This could be the source of the problem right here, as long as the pins are long enough to just be emerging from the door while the handle is in the 130 degree position:
Important question not adressed in the building instructions. When placing the latch mechanism inside the latch pocket, is it necessary to cut access holes for the geared arms that interface with the rod pin and the gear so that not only is there a cut in the pocket for the pin, but also the back half of the gear arm. Basically, when the door is open does the handle go up to the 90 degree position or does it go all the way to the 180 degree position.
If the pin was just emerging from the door side while the handle was in the 180 degree position(Facing aft), just think how far the pin will travel when the handle is placed in the closed position. The manual does not state the number of cuts in the latch pockets??????I haven't fitted the entire mechanism yet, but real close so I am not certain of how it is supossed to be..

Hey John,
The plans are silent on this, but attached is a photo of 410RV. If you do not cut the hole in the back of the pocket, there is no way to achieve required full pin travel.
cheers,
Ron - almost there

Yes, holes on both sides for the gear bars to go in and out.
And, it's important to position the bars on just the right
teeth so you get maximum extension on the rods.

Hey John (JG),
That's the one! It was YOUR post that gave me the idea to play with the holes on the backside -- I just now got there, and it works. Try it, you'll like it!
Thanks, - Lew

Thanks Ron,
I cut the holes anyway, but was skiing last weekend so I haven't finished the pin install. If I don't get enough length with the Van's pins and bolt assembly, I'll make up my own from new tube stock.
