Looking to replace my 2nd. Gens' door hinges w/ new

I've been told the "good" ones have some kind of brass inserts?

where might I buy the good ones as far as door hinges?:_paranoid
thanks in advance:cool:

I can't speak specifically to the 2nd gens, however it seems the best hinges you can find for a 1st gen are OEM hinges with a rebuild kit. The kits are pretty cheap and easy. It might take you an afternoon to finish.

If you have a full set of hinges already, that's the path I would go down.

Probably gonna have to get on the phone and speak to a couple places that sell them.

A quick google found a few places that sell them.

The pictures of the hinges posted on Classic Industries looked like they might have the brass bushings.

You got a pic of your hinges? It be fun to see hinges that are too far gone to rebuild..... that would make me scared to see the rest of it. :willy:

Just rebuilt mine (old Vette)... the hinges weigh more than the door. :rolleyes:

Good luck.

I used the Classic Industries hinges on my Firebird. Five years later, still working fine. Good luck-
