A plug spanner is listed separately, but it does seem logical…however a long tubular plug spanner is not suitable for removing plug no 4 as it catches on stuff on the bulkhead on my car! Ref. Manufacturers, my post isa bit misleading in that Snail etc I think only made/ branded the open end spanners...

Thanks for the supportive comments! I cut the ply door panels today and stripped the old material from what was left of the originals (with the number 58 pencilled on them!) I don’t think much fabric will be saveable, it is a complex lay up to make the design of the door card an it is very fragile. ...

Latest update! It is amazing what skill (not mine) can achieve. Both doors now fit and shut perfectly. The driver's door frame needed a lot of work including re-making a complete corner frame, but it is done. Very satisfying.
