I have a full set of 1927 T coupe hinges and I know which location they go to, but how do I tell a RH hinge from a LH hinge???

These are NOT the finger style hinges.

I am guessing it has something to only do with the door side???

Thanks in advance,

Russ.

From the factory they would have come assembled, pin head on top. Look for wear patterns. The door side would have wear where it hings on the pillar hinge and pillar side, top.

When new, did these hinges on the door side have a difference in top and lower hole size or was the hole the same size each end???

It is just a straight 7/32 pin. All body styles should use the same diameter pin only different lengths.

Great, so no difference between a LH and RH hinge.

Thankyou.
