The outer face of door shall be formed from one sheet of 5052-1132 aluminum. The door shall be flush with the body side. The outer skin shall be bonded to the door frame with structural adhesive that meets ASTM D 412 tensile strength, elongation, and elastic modulus. Adhesive to utilizes micro spheres to maintain a constant bond thickness around the inside skin edge to seal entire skin to frame.
