just wondering if anyone has tried them..
thanks
thanks
I've used the door pins and bushings in the HELP section at Advance on mulitple Tbirds and work just fine.
The part number I use is 38410, which requires you to ream the holes for the bushings with a 15/32 drill bit. Very easily done when you remove the brackets from the door and put them in a vice.
I have used both part numbers, Usually I use the ones you have to ream the hole because the hole becomes oval shaped.

I found it to be a real pain. An extra set of hands will help a lot. (Maybe buy a 6-pack and lure a buddy over to help!) Try tightening down one bolt on each hinge to hold the door in one spot. Then loosen one bolt, and only partially loosen the other. Shift the door a little, then tighten the bolts back down. Repeat until the door fits! (This may take a year or two.) Then align the striker bolt AFTER the door fits and swings nicely.
There is a tool for this, which holds the door in position for you (more or less). I actually OWN the tool, and I STILL thought it was a huge pain.
For the second door, I experimented, and found that my die grinder would juuuuuust barely reach in to cut the hinge pins. Then, with a wacky-looking bent rod as a drift, I was able to sledgehammer out the remains of the pins. Then I was able to re-hang the door without making a single adjustment!
A new finepoint sharpie works wonders for that purpose.the real key is to mark it befor you remove it. works every time
