dapiper Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 My LHS (driver's side) upper door hinge is worn. Tried MSA. Replacement source? Are these hinge pins servicable? Terrible wind noise at speed. Door is sagging rendering top seal on window frame ineffective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Went through the same thing, and I'm still living with it for now with my 75. When (some day, in a garage far far away...) I do a full resto on her I'm planing on just making my own pins. It helps that I work in a machine shop as there are a lot of automotive related parts that you simply can't buy anymore, or are quite expensive. Maybe somone here has a source, but my .02$ is to make friends with a machinest/tool maker and get something made up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZR8ED Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I bought my drivers side hinges right from Nissan. Not too cheap if i recall, but no problems getting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banditzed Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I rebuilt mine for my 76 using GM pins and bushings. Had to drill the holes slightly oversize,(use a drill press to keep holes perpendicular), parts totaled $15.00. Hinges have no slop at all.
