Model A door hinges
Hi guys, need some help. I have a friend restoring a model A 5 window coupe and he would like to replace all the door hinges. He'd like to know if anyone makes them? thanks

Re-bushing would surely be better than any repop hinges.

Re: Model A door hinges

Re: Model A door hinges
Steve, thanks for the referral, but we have no 1930-1931 hinges (coupe,tudor, pickup) style.
We get half dozen calls every week for them, as many folks dont want to pay big $$$ for new ones. Steve Becker Berts Model A Center |

Second, you're going to need lots of parts. You'd best determine what year you really have, and whether it's a Briggs or Murray as there may be some differences in what you need to replace, Third, unless you've got something magical, all the Model A coupes are 5 windows, Fourth, get a Hemmings and send for all the catalogs you can-they feature not just parts but knowledge that will save your time. Mac's,Sacramento Vintage Ford, Mike's, Brattons are just a few. |

Re: Model A door hinges
Well, yes, technically true.So, metal Model A coupes, or you've really got a roadster with a top or something. But where Deuces are truly 3 or 5 windows, the As, with a few minor exceptions are 5's. No? Experimental 1930 3 window. Got one? |

Re: Model A door hinges
Aren't oversized pins also made for worn hinges?
My first choice would be oversized pins, or bushings before the work and expense of replacing all the hinges. |
