Aligning doors on 29E RS
-
The front side of the doors are about 1/4 inch (latch side) where would you start, have looked under body frame with floor out, scratched my head

Can't quite understand your question, but I assume you have a gap between the front edge of the door and the frame. You need to put a length of steel strip (1/4" or so thick) in between the hinge sections, and shut the door on it so you strain the hinge forward. Probably what has happened is the door has swung back at some stage and bent the hinge backwards. Alternatively, you can put washers between the hinges and body and door.
Geoff.If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.
