Door Hinge Refurbishment TR4-6

[Eddie Trickett]

 

I used an adjustable reamer and ebay pins. Old pins came out fairly easily with butane torch .No play now.

I've had the pleasure of doing this twice. On the TR6:

And on the GT6, which has the same or very similar or hinges.

Both cars had one hinge with a broken pin, and the GT6 required bronze bushes, even with larger pins.

Hi David,

if you want to be really crackers you could fit a grease nipple to the centre part of the hinge.

I tried this and it should work. The upper and lower sections are fixed to the hinge so do not wear. The centre section is what it pivots on and so will wear

Drill a grease nipple hole in an accessible position when door is open - fit nipple for greasing then remove.

I've done it to one door - but it is madness

I have done the same on all my hinges. It doesn’t take long.
