Could Someone Measure Door Hinge to Door Hinge at the body side at all 3 Hinges on a stock 34 5 Window for me??

Again, thank you guys!

Best from Texas,

I have a 33 5W which ought to be the same, but I don't understand the measurement you want. Can you be more specific? Across from left to right? Vertical between the hinges, top to middle to bottom? Stickout from body side?

The only thing I can say is the hinges all have to be perfectly in line when viewed from above, otherwise the door would bind when opened.

Sorry Mart, I should be more specific:

From drivers side to passenger side at each hinge (across the car) where each hinge sticks straight out probably the easiest and best. Thank you very much for the help.

Best,
Dave

Ok, this is a difficult measurement to get when the seat is in the way, and the doors are hung.

I get:
From the inside edge of the door hinge to the inside edge of the opposite hinge, top and middle:
49-1/8".

Each hinge then has 3-3/4" from the inside edge of the hinge to the pin so the pins are:56-5/8" apart. That's pin centre to pin centre.

The top and middle hinges have the same dimensions, so, in theory the bottom hinges should also have the same overall pin to pin dimension. The lower hinges are approximately 4-3/4" each pin to inner edge, so the inner edge to inner edge dimension for the lower hinges are approximately 37-1/8" apart.

I couldn't get a good reading on the lower because the seat is in the way.

If you need more accuracy, maybe someone has a bare shell with hinges and can get some direct measurements.

Hopefully, though the above should give you an indication.

Measurements were taken in a not well lit garage, on my own without my glasses. If extra accuracy is required I could try it again when help and glasses are available.

Mart.
