New complete Door Hinges are still available, part Number 607824 - TD Fitchett's at Telford show them in stock at £21 Each, Canley Classics slightly cheaper but none in stock?

I replaced the bottom ones on my car both sides and used the best secondhand ones I had at the top when I rebuilt my car.

If you still find you cannot get enough adjustment when you have replaced the hinges or pins, you can pack the rear front bulkhead body mounting to tilt slightly the front bulkhead.

This is something I had to do to stop my Quarter lights catching the top of the 'A' Posts (Windscreen Surround) on my convertible🤔

 

 

That's interesting. Top passenger windows rubs the top of the A-pillar, ever since the car was rebuilt.

Hinges are fine. I didn't know about the inner adjustment.

the hood pulling the baulkhead back is as prevalent as tub spread

packing the body mounts is  the simplest solution. 

the  ND vent frame is also has some adjustment on the door carcass fixings  ie big hole, small bolt . large washer
