Triumph 2000 door hinges

[sulzerman]

Hi all

My drivers door has dropped, needs a lift as I close it. 

I removed the door and top and bottom hinges are both knackered.   I fiited a new pin but the hing is worn. The part that is bolted to the door is worn.

Any suggestions? Oversized pin or good replacement hinge (if i can get one)? 

Anyone else had same problem?

over  size must be worth a try  as the hinges are welded on

The old fashioned way (customer with no money) was along piece of wood under door then jack up small bit at a time till door shuts nicely. Not the correct way, but it does work...

On the Rover Metro production line there was a highly skilled fitter whose job was to shut the door, look at the window frame gaps, open the door, grab the top of the window frame, put a knee against the trim panel, give it a good yank and shut the door again, now with nice flush window alignment.
