So Dave, are you saying the stop fittings on the door, which go inside the stop pads and therefore take the outward pressure , do not have bolts through them once the plug door is located in position on the tracks ?
What am I seeing that looks like silver bolt heads on a properly installed one?
I think I’ve just cross posted with a similar question… so they are only locating pins??
