Hey everyone...
My drivers' side door is sagging a bit. It also wasn't aligning very well
when closing, even when I lift the outside handle to make up for the sag. I
solved the latter problem to my great delight this afternoon, but I've been
advised by other listers that the hinge pins are probably worn, causing the
play in the hinges.
I have a local source that has complete door hinges he'll sell me and I plan
on taking that route to fix the problem unless there is some sort of
adjustment I can make where the hinges bolt to the "A" support.
Assuming that is not possible, are all Spitfire door hinges interchangeable
regardless of the year? Or am I definitely going to want a set of Mk3
hinges? Also, is there any way for me to tell if the ones I purchase are
any better than the ones I have now without installing the replacements
first? It might save me a few hours and a return trip.
Thanks!
