Default Homemade Tube Doors

I recently modified my cherokee doors to take them on and off and was wondering if anyone has a thread or a way to make some home made tube doors or at least the dimensions so i can fabricate my own

I think most folks use a tape measure.

If you have the skill necessary to fabricate them then you should have the knowledge on how to get the dimensions necessary.
