Re: 40 door hinges replacement
Need some clarification here. Are you wanting to use Drake hinges because the holes are wrong on yours or the body? Or do you already have Drake hinges and the holes are wrong in the Drake hinges?

Re: 40 door hinges replacement
Did a search as I'm at the point of no return on my driver's side bottom hinge. Was hoping it was the hinge that is sprung and not the door needed work. Right side is a nice closing door but the left binds about a foot before closing. You can see the bottom hinge area of the door has been tweaked a little. With the safety latch on it will open further than the right side - which is going past the cowl.
Also was needing opinion of who makes the best replacement hinges ? |

Acquire a 3 ft length of 9/32 drill rod (O-1 tool steel at McMaster-Carr). Use this to determine that the upper and lower hinges are on the same axle. The binding you describe sounds like they are not. |
