[DML] Re: Door Struts Opinion

["Joe OBrien" <joeyoseppijoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Concerne about door adjustments? Why?

Just adjust your torsion bars a notch with the new Grady struts and 
you will be amazed at the differnce.

Or don't and continue having soft doors. I'd hold on to the struts 
until you can meet up with an individual or a group to have them 
assist you in a torsion bar adjustment.

If you are in the PA area this weekend stop over Saturday to the 
DCO/PA tech session and we will happily adjust your struts, the more 
Deloreans the merrier.
