'Handed' Boot Hinges? (Herald 1200)


Colin

Recommended Posts

Chaps:- I read somewhere recently boot lid hinges are 'handed, e.g. left & right. Really? The number of times I've removed them, broken a fixing stud off one etc., and I've never noticed!! 

A) Why??

B) Are they marked as such?? Best, Colin, Hernia Bay

That smiley is B), btw!

Think Ive got it. Looks like on at least some (originals?) the hinge pin goes in from one side and the other is solid ie it has no hole. This means that you can install each hinge with the nice smooth chrome side outwards so that you cant see its horrible hinge pin when looking at the car from the side👍
