P38A Door dropped

Flossie said:

On my mates 38. Happened quite suddenly he says, making opening the door difficult, he's popping round mine this afternoon so I can have a look (works nights). Looking at mine, there are bolts both sides of the door(osf) so I'm guessing there will be adjustment there? Door lifts 25mm in play on the trailing edge.

It happened suddenly so probably broke something, we'll see later.

So can we get just the pin or is it a whole assembly needed? My drivers door hinge has gotten a little slack and was picked up in the inspection

Do they check for loose hinges over there then?

He popped by today. Hinge pin and /or hinge pin bore worn, top is bad, bottom less so. Plan is to remove the door and hinges and see what's what at a later date as he was off to work again. If the pins are as hard as the check strap pins then they will be fine but the hinge pin bore will be oval. Might weld and redrill or drill and fit an oversize pin which is what I did for my check straps.
