Need to replace the door hinges on our 1989 90, and fit new door seals at the same time.
Has anybody purchases and fitted any recently that they can recommend ( if you can remember where you got them from and what brand they are it would be really bloomin helpful).
I have had a good search, and there seems to be lots from a while ago *posts)coming up, but nothing recent ish.
People seem to be saying to keep away from Britpart ones though.
Thanks
Andy

I fitted some Brit Part ones about three years ago and they have been fine.

I have fitted several of the britpart door hinge kits (da1070) without issue and seem to be good quality.

I fitted britpart ones and they have been fine, been on about a year. I am debating taking them off and filling and tapping them with a grease port to maintain the pivot more easily

I'd recommend the later bottom seals that are fitted to the doors, they don't get damaged climbing in and out. I just ran a bead of "stick like sh*t" on the back stuck them on shut the doors and left them shut overnight. They've stayed on for several years.
