I have removed the passenger door of our Special Sports to make a repair as per the timely publication in the last Driving Member ( thanks Kevin).
The hinges are not too bad, but I wondered if new pins were available ?
1/4 diameter by 3 1/4 long.
Any ideas ??

Re: Door- hinge pins 1/4 inch
These would be fairly easy to turn up on a metal work lathe, problem with nails is they rust very readily and are very soft steel, so a better quality steel even stainless would be preferable. Syd
Re: Door- hinge pins 1/4 inch
I don't know if its of interest but I purchased some hinge pins for vintage chevy that were a little oversized 17/64" [.265"] x ~3.5" and they were inexpensive. If you would consider that option I'll try and dig up the part number.
Re: Door- hinge pins 1/4 inch
New Hinge Pins are available on e-Bay under Lanchester Parts

Re: Door- hinge pins 1/4 inch
Thanks guys.
Dennis - a reference would be good, even if they have to get for the US
Alan - Ill have a look.
(its not desparate, but I'd like to try to make as good as possible)
I have a spare set of hinges, but they are bigger sizes and because of the location, I cant swap to get the best ones in service !
(nothing easy in the old car world)
