The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors Lower Hinge Cover

I have one 1953 driver's side hinge cover and three 1954 hinge covers (one driver's side and two passenger sides). Each shape, 53 to 54, appears to be the same with the exception of the intentions in the panels for the fasteners. The 53 panel uses machine screws with a larger head and the 54 panels are attached with smaller head sheet metal screws. Therefore, the recesses in the panels for the fasteners are less on the 54 panels and greater on the 53 panels. As for the fit, left to right, I tried placing the incorrect side of one of the panels on a door and while it may fasten with some massaging of the holes, I found that the reveal on the hinge side would be incorrect. However, you may be able to make the reveal and the hole(s) work with a little sheet metal work.
