You would do better to take the originals apart,..carefully, and re-pin them or "through" bolt them. The new ones, unless the exact same will not fit the same. I had to do the same deal on my old 77 IM a few years ago.
Pats right! And some part stores carry oversize door pin kits with bronze sleeves that can be adapted to these kind of hinges. You can make um as good as new.
thanks for your tips.
nevertheless i decide to use new ones.
because i make a full restauration and the hinges also have some " ring plates " between them and that problem can`t fix with oversized pins.
also the car gets a new paint and the doors have to be adjusted anyway. i know it was a lousy job to adjust the doors, but there are much more lousy things to restore...:-(
