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.
Dave
