Chad I know you had a few ideas. Care the share them?
Sure-
#1 I am thinking about skinning the doors with Aluminum (for safety and mounting purposes). I was going to try to use these roll bar clamps and somehow attach them to the aluminum on the door on a few places on the cage. That way you can always remove the door with a few bolts.
#2 Some of these roll bar clamps have swivel ends so you could also run a rod through it (Sort of like a hinge) and lock it down.
#3 I can 3D print up some brackets (ABS)
Those are just some initial thoughts before mounting them. My goal is to be able to remove them easily if I need to work on stuff (removing seat, adjust belts etc)
There is no wrong way to mount a door as long as it stays put.

So on my challenge car, which has a very similar cage and door design as the R, I made the door removable as there is always something I need to get at, I put the doors on dzus fasteners and made aluminum mounts that the fasteners attached to and also made guides that I fiberglassed to door to hold door in place and the dzus fasteners hold it down

Unfortunately no
Here is what I did on my door for my challenge car as the first pic is of the dzus fasteners that hold the door down, second pic is of the tabs I put on the door and third pic is the door area and the tabs slide in keeping the door in place and the fasteners hold the door down

I had them send me the inner fiberglass door liners. I am going to use those as a template for mounting purposes.

Was looking at the FFR racer today. Aluminum on the bottom and six or so inches up top was CF. I don't think I will use anything and route wiring, etc on the outside of the frame.
