    What are these brackets for?

    I scanned the manual from page 1 to the last and didn't see these in there. Anyone know what they are for?

    door latch mount. I think they are now part of the door frame . Gen 1s had this part bolt to the frame. You will see the 3 holes line up with the bear claw latch.

    Are you saying they go on the door as part of the door frame assembly?

    On my Gen 2 kit the door latch mount is part of the door beam. I didn't get those parts with my kit.

    ok, I can see where the ends of the door frame are similar looking. I think I got a mix of some Gen 1 parts
