Re: [DML] Hydraulic Doors on DeLorean?

["mdrig" <mdrig@xxxx>]

Most Bricklins have been converted to air doors, my wife's 75 has them.
Hydraulics were prone to leak and slow in opening (about 8-10 seconds for
your door to open, especially in the rain or cold!).
My doors sag a bit even with brand new struts, guess I'm in need of the
dreaded torsion bar adjustment.
