  • Door hinges

    I purchased new hinge pins and bushings for the front doors on my 1970 W200 and am having a mechanic replace them. He called me today and said he tried just about everything and can not get the pins out of the hinge. Is there a source for new, rebuilding or does anyone have a good hinge set for the drivers door? Or do we just need to cut off pins and drill them out? He seems to be worried about drilling them straight since they are pretty much part of the cast arm.
    Thanks,

    Weylin,
    You might try putting an ad in the Parts Wanted section of this site.
    You might also try www.sweptline.org and www.dodgesweptline.org
    Both sites have sale/wanted sections you can place an ad in. Look
    for a guy by the name of Bud Thorp. I'm sure he can set you up with
    a pair of good used hinges.
