Hi how are the door hinges adjusted? Is it from the door or frame?
Cheers y'all

I think there is adjustment at both ends of the hinge. Mine is missing some bits, but in think there is a plate, behind the panel, into which the hinge bolts screw. Once the bolts are loosened, the hinge bolts are free to move in the enlarged holes.

At least, I hope that's it, otherwise I have more repairs to do!

Hi Thunderbox,

I am upgrading the hinges and have been trial fitting the door, so hinges ate on my top list.

My way of adjustment is based upon trial and error.

The door can slides back and forward over the alu door hinge. Therefore are the holes in the door oval.
The steel bracket is fixed to the A pillar with 2 bolts inside the pocket and 2 on the front. Those holes are oval too so door can be pushed out and inside the bodyline and then tightened.

Only one thing does not look correct to me. I cannot slide the whole steel bracket because the inside fixings cannot be moved.
Do you still follow me??

Hope someone can better me and so you.

Hans
