The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Doors AD Hinge Pin Repair Kit - Order From Who?

Been reading in the forums about the different style hinge pin kits to "fix" the hinges on our '54.

Who makes the best kits for repairing our hinge pins? Should I look for the brass bushing style or the stand-alone enlarged pins?

Has anyone ever used the hinge pin kits from LMC truck?

Thanks,
Thomas

My personal experience with the brass bushing slightly enlarged pins has been excellent. I got some help & guidance from fellow bolters and it all went well. The kit I had came with the truck so I am not sure who makes the best kits. I do know that Classic Parts sells them at a very good price. Their stuff so far has been great. Check out Photbucket pics. on this subject. Hope this will help.

I just did both of my doors and used the Classic Parts they fit perfectly. This is a great link on how to do it.

I will tell you that having redone my hinges and removing my doors a couple times that a simple trick to reassembly is to rotary file the door where the hinge slips into it. I then use a dab of grease on the hinge itself and they slide right on. I can now remove and install the doors myself in just a couple of minutes.

Great, thanks for the good info. Looks like I'll order the pins from Classic Parts.

Much appreciated,
Thomas

I am assuming the process is basically the same for the TF hinges? Thanks.
