Re: [T3] Door hinge repair question


<x-flowed>Hi Again

After reading your comments about the bolt size and so on I went back to the garage and had a closer look at these hinges. The shell came with one door mounted. The bolts are 8 mm and the former owner used a simple hex head 8 mm bolt. Now, I have looked more closely at the drivers side, the one I showed you on the Samba site and I note that there are no threads. It looks like someone had to drill out the bolts and took the threads with it, which could explain why the lower one had the holes welded over. While I would love to have the stocks ones Jim has if they are 6 mm they're too small. And in any event I'll have to look for a replacement hinge set. As I said before this type 3 restoration has certainly provided me with some thrills... We're still planning on have the cars ready for 2006.
