Can anyone tell me the correct size or where I can get the correct hinge pins for the rear barn doors...I have seen some in the catalogs with brass bushings and I don't see a way to install them also they are flat on the end and shorter that the old pins. The old pins have a point on the end and protrude below the bottom of the hinge.

Thanks

Did you try Filling Station in Oregon? Or Chevs of the 40s in Washington?

Jim Carter has oversize pins that are overlong, so you could cut and shape the end however you wanted. But i think they're designed for the concealed pins for the front doors.

You might also try Restoration Specialties, but would have to call them to get the correct ones, as their website doesn't give you much info. Link

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

I can fix your old hinges if you aren't able to find something suitable from the resto-ripoff places. Send me a PM.
