Good evening all, after a long bloody time with being to busy at work I finaly have some time to do something with my Volksrod before I go overseas for a 6 month stint.
What I was hoping is that someone may have a set of door hinges for a 73 Beetle for sale.
I'd need them posted to Hobart so cost of that as well would be great, if anyone could let me know I'd be gratefull.

Thanks

Glen.

Yes
the pins are tight in the top and bottom of the hinge but the middle does wear... and lets the door drop..

anyone sell the pins and where can You get a loan of a pin pusher outer tool?

I see You are going to replace the entire hinges..?? Lee

Yeah I kind of need to replace them, I had to cut the old ones off with the angle grinder, to much rust.
Not my prefered option but they were knackered.

Did You get the old countersunk rivets and screws out??

You will need the plate to screw into behind the hinge..

Guys please don't take this the wrong way cause I have no intension to be a douche.
I'm just after a set of hinges, I've got everything else that I need, I just need a set of hinges for my right hand door so I can hang it off the body, so I can chop the upper window rails so it'll fit in the 4 inch roof chopped body I've been working on.

If anyones got a set I'd be stoked to buy them before I have to go overseas next month for six months.

Thanks for the advice guys.
