Front Door Hinges

Postby Luke » Sun Jul 10, 2005 3:52 pm

Im having problems gapping up my front doors on my minibus they were fine before but now ive replaced them the bottom hinge needs to be about 4mm further out :? i started with a shim between the hinge and the door but i think i'll take the hinges off and enlarge the slots! :? - has anyone else had this problem :?:

also are the 2 hinges (top and bottom) identical :?:

Hi Luke, these doors are a f---er to line up it took me ages to do my nearside one i think i took the door back off in the end and fitted the hinges to the a pillar then fitted the door to the hinge,mine had a shim looked like a lump of emery cloth, have you fitted new wings? i think if you persevere you will win without filling out the holes,anyway how about the cruise, the offer is still on :wink: its only gonna happen once not to be missed 8) 8)
