Door Hinges

[TVRees]

OK, no problem. Files have been sent.

Chaps apologies for yet another door question... has anyone any recommendations for someone who's experienced in fixing the door issue (not something I'm looking at tackling myself)?

I've contacted Adrian Venn who's no longer doing doors.

Cheers in advance.

I'm in central Essex so ideally within three hours drive's OK.

Mat Smith is highly spoken of in TVR circles.

Cheers - Downham Market's easy to get to from me; I'll give him a call.

Can highly recommend Mat Smith-he's been looking after mine for many years now with no issues...ever

I replaced my door hinges with phosphor bronze instead of plastic and yes the S3C Cosworth beast is still alive and kicking

Hi All
More help please, I have read this thread.

If all three nuts are rusted and I mean really badly.
What is the best place to try and cut?

I was looking in between door and bodywork but think this is going to make a mess.

Regards
John

Rusted as in you can got get a socket to grip or rusted as in your worried you'll rip the bobbins out of the fibreglass?

[Jerseyjohn]

Socket has rounded off the bolt head.

[phillpot]

Single hex socket?



the 17mm pivot bolts or the 13mm bolts that retain the adjustment bracket (head sizes not bolt sizes)

I did use the type of socket, but head is gone.

I have decide to give top ones a go, then lift door and cut away bottom.
