Maybe i've built some kind of stress into the catflap when i installed it

It is in a door albeit a Horizontal one. Doors get slammed.

May have been scratched or chipped on the edge during installation. This happens with toughened glass!

Just browsing this thread for another and came across your photos of core plugs. Must admit that I could not quite believe my eyes! I did exactly the same thing when I was about 20 years old for my S II diesel. I didn't machine it up myself, but had an old German master turner do it for me. I can still remember him saying: "Ya, Ya, ist bloody gut idea"! I am now 76 years old, but no longer have a Series, just a Discovery. Cheers Mick!

Hi Paul as a recent owner of a 1966 2a I find this thread so informative, Storm is looking great, thanks for the time you put into posting the build. [smilebigeye]
