Dave, I like the idea of the retaining straps. The stress on the hinges had occurred to me and I thought that I must do something about it when I get around to it.
Regarding the ships smell : I remember the smell of diesel fumes mixed with cigarette smoke which was at it's worse on the diesel submarines, this mixture forms a unique smell that I only got close to smelling outside of the Navy in one place : A bus station garage where buses were idling while the mechanics were smoking.
