32 cabriolet door hinges
Our cabriolet has had hurt and welded door hinges , welded repair while on the car , not pretty. Question can 32 roadster hinges be used as a replacement? I see the door hinge appears riveted to the door ,while the A pillar hinge is screwed on .

Re: 32 cabriolet door hinges
Probably the 5W coupe ones made by UP.Door thickness thicker than roadster.

Re: 32 cabriolet door hinges
Given the much higher location of the upper hinge on a standard/sport coupe door, that hinge is likely too long compared to the upper hinges on cabriolets and roadsters. Brookville roadster hinges might be the best bet.

Re: 32 cabriolet door hinges
1932 Roadster are definitely shorter up and down.
1932 5window/Sedan appear to be the same hinge though I would suspect the mounting holes for the upper hinge (at least) are different, as it is reversed and in a different location. If you prefer a USA part to United Pacific's Taiwan set, we do make them in investment cast steel, not drilled for mounting, and of course a higher price than UP. |

Re: 32 cabriolet door hinges
According to speedway motors the UP 5W hinges are 3 1/8 long . The cab hinges are 4” . would the Wescott or UP ones be easy enough to modify ? ok Wescotts say 4 1/8” and 3 3/8 undrilled .looking more hopefull. While the bottom cabriolet hinge is 4 1/8” the top one measure 3 7/16”
