Window Latch Repair Door Hinges
|
Next, we addressed the lower door hinges. There are rebuild kits available for these hinges, but the complete reproduction hinge assemblies are not that expensive. Additionally, the pins in the lower hinges are not bushed, so after years of metal-to-metal contact, both the pin and holes tend to get chewed up. Here we have the complete reproduction door hinges (left), and the disassembled original door hinge (right). Replacement is a simple matter of unbolting the old hinge and bolting in the new one. You may find it easier to install the two halves separately, and then insert the pin if the doors are still on the car. The hinges are The Paddock's part number PAD03663 and are $48.95 each. There is also a rebuild kit available, with eight bushings (you'll have to drill out the holes), four pins, and with or without the "S" spring. View Related Article
