B310 Door Hinges
B310 Door Hinges
I need some for my Coupe (failed a WoF on slop), I'm not sure if they're swappable between the coupe/sedan/wagon but worth a shot if anyone has some for free/cheap.

Is it the top hinges which are sloppy? You can remove the pins and drill out the holes and fit larger pins.

Re: B310 Door Hinges
Here's a trick my dad taught me. (Although he really wishes he hadn't)
All you need to do is adjudt the top and bottm hinges against each other. Back them both off, and lift the door up a bit. Then the tighen the top hinge. Then screw the bottom hinge down, and tighten the bottom hinge up. Not a permanant cure, but it works plenty long enough to pass a wof.

Yeah, that was my first thought but then I countered it with just replacing the damn things.fast4motion wrote:Is it the top hinges which are sloppy? You can remove the pins and drill out the holes and fit larger pins.

I'll see how I get along with replacements, there's more to be done on top of the hinges and after Nationals I'm super poor anyway and can't afford to remedy them at the moment.
