Re: Type 3 door hinges.

Has anyone ever installed new hinge pins? I have nos doors and nos hinge sets.

Any tips? Will the removal tool work in reverse to install new?

Thanks,
Lee

64 shell on 72 chassis?

The 64 chassis on one of my Notchbacks is shafted. Can a later (72) chassis be used instead?
Not too clued up on type 3 stuff!!

Can I fit the 3 bolt hinges from my rotten doors to the NOS doors?

Re: Type 3 doors, how different are they?

Notchbacks have different hinges (they have 3 fixings in each hhinge - square/fastbacks have 2), but they can be swapped. Locks and catches are different and not interchangeable between early and late. The drop glass, winder and quarter lights will transfer across, but I guess you won't be using th...
