While we are on the subject of hinges.....
Have 64 vintage complete doors to go on the 59 ragtop project. I will
probably need to have them replaced.....already have quite a few good ones
stashed in my parts bin. They are the result of patient collecting in the
junkyard over the years. Different vintages. Would sort out the good ones which
have minimal play in the pins and the top ones which have provision for the
earlier threaded side view mirror.
What is the correct way to go about replacing them???
Best regards,
Asad
