AH and PD tourer doors

[Robin Oldfield]

Thanks all.  

That's very interesting.  Dave's pointed out that when we made the new frames for Mick Hobday's AH, we were surprised to find that the inside face of the bottom timber was curved to match the outside, whereas the apparently original frames on the seemingly identical doors on our PD are straight inside. The straight trim plates on our PD are the ones that came with it in 1974 and appeared to have been there a long time even then.  What's the story on other PDs, I wonder?

Does this mean that the door cards are curved at the top (to fit the ali cappings) but straight at the bottom, and if so does that not give an odd (and strained) profile to the door trim?
