Hi Graham
"I wouldn't do the third bolt, it weakens
the bottom rail / sill too much, 
go with a simple latch.that uses
the flexibility of the door to latch.
Get a second set of
bushes and put those into the fuselage door frame"
I put a
3/16" pin on door frame and striker plate on door, simple and works
well.:

I left lift strut in original position and installed similar pin and
striker to hold upper aft part of door in shape.
