AD Chummy A post
#1
Hi All

I’ve spent the last week or three making new doors for my AD based van.  The old ones were made of plywood sheets and I got very fed up with tightening the hinge screws that went end grain on to the ply!

Here are a few pics of the construction including the home made steam box and jig to get the doors at the correct curvature.

The original doors were a very poor fit and although the new ones are better I’d like to improve things further.  

Can anyone let me know if the A post on a Chummy is flat or curved?  And what are my chances of replacing the A posts with the body in situ?

This is the driver side A post which varies in thickness between 7/8” at the top to well over an 1” at the lower hinge before reducing back to 7/8” at the bottom. Clearly not correct?

The A posts are straight, in my experience.
