    Nice work!

    Heat shrink tubing around the door linkage too? Did I read that correctly? That's a good idea. How exactly? On the ends, or other rattle-spots? Would tape work to quiet down the doors' guts?

    One other thing to consider on the linkage is the stuff they use on new stuff.
    Kinda like the old finger trap, it expands when pushed together, tightens when pulled longer.

    the 3m heatshrink Works good. I used over sized gas line firs but it liked to move around more. and sometimes get in the way, The heat shrink held alot better. So far.

    I did not use the Fatmat in the dog house. I heard it works fine. I had instaledand used a different application. I think the web page shows all that info.http://www.fatmat.com/
