I had been discussing a method of burst proofing my doors , I was shown a method used on a 34 Coupe which I felt could work, it involved removing the dove tail
and replacing it with a special striker pin from a VW, it required filling the 4 mounting holes and re drilling it with two holes that would match the Dove tail mount
holes, that fixes half the problem, the other half involves making a slotted plate to accept the striker pin
, so a Stainless Steel Plate had a slot cut in it and two
 mounting holes drilled
and chamferred , the only drilling required on the Door Pillar was to mount the Stainless plate
                             
Here you see the completed burst proofing, well I guess if an object hit the COE Door and was large enough to spring the door open,
 this plate and pin should prevent it, I may have to do some adjusting on the door to stop it dragging just a little bit.
