That's the problem, they cost silly money and I just don't have a couple hundred quid to drop on hinges that are the same design. There must be some for another vehicle that fit, maybe rear door hinges from a van?
They're a crap design and I don't want to buy the same hinges only to be faced with misaligned doors because they dropped again in a few years
I am with you on that one. I bought a replacement set and they were as bad as the existing ones. I have an idea to add bearings to the assembly. At least then I can replace the bearings and not the whole hinge.
Oh right, I didn’t realise they dropped significantly. What part of the design makes them drop? Is it just metal-on-metal wear? Maybe for a grease nipple like they have on diggers and tractors?
I've never seen affordable new hinges that don't already have unwanted movement in them. It's a joke
Unsure, I think they're just insufficient for the job they're supposed to do. You can buy ones with greasable pins but again those cost a fortune. Companies make far better improved rear door hinges yet the front door hinges all follow the exact same pattern and i don't care if they're made from solid gold im not paying a fortune for what is basically two bits of metal with some holes in held together with a pin
[and I like old Lancia's]. It was this that made me look at YRM, though it took some days before I reached into the wallet.
Before I go starting a new thread (products come and go in three years), what did you decide to do in the end?
Sounds like you have the wrong vehicle tbh..... standard hinges should be good for 20-30 years. Hugely unlikely you'll find anything else that magically happens to have the exact same bolt patter, angles and open radius.
