The pin is in the same location relative to each other. Just use the one that fits the door post and the door shouldn't notice the difference. > Alternatively, I also have a good spare two-bolt left door from a 1966 > squareback with the same style handle and lock etc as the 1964 > notchback. Can I knock out the hinge pins and exchange the two-bolt > hinge halves with the three-bolt hinge halves? Those hinges probably are opposites in the the way the "tongue" and "forks" are made. Look at the hinges where the pin goes thru them. See if the single "tongue" is common to the door part of the hinge or the post part of the hinge. If they are the same, they will interchange, if they are not..................... '66 was the year of the change, so you may have either depending on when and where it was manufactured and registered. My guess is they will be opposites.
