A TR7 16V Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 If anybody is scrapping a door, I'm after the top hinge bracket for the quarterlight that's riveted to the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A TR7 16V Posted June 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Or maybe a quarterlight glass with the frame that swings out too. Or even the whole subassembly - I'll be drilling the two rivets out of the plate for the top hinge and taking the 1/2 nut off the spring that forms the bottom hinge, so the state of the fixed frame with the runner for the drop glass is of no never mind. As long as the bottom hinge nut is like to come off. There's one in eBay for £40 inc. P&P, but if there's someone with a bit they've replaced some part of which will go again in this case, I'd sooner use one of them. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 I'm certain I have complete quarterlight assemblies where the drop glass runners are too corroded to reuse, but the top half is fine. Will check tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Yes have a choice of five (white green red or brown.. ) Depends on how much of the assembly you need or which side. The white one (driver's side) has rusted away at the lower ends, so could easily be cut down to size, and the chrome catch is quite dull but the top part of the frame is good with surface rust; I can remove the quarterlight assembly to just leave the bare frame to save weight in carriage, and cut off / leave as much as you need?

A TR7 16V Posted June 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Hi Colin, Thanks for this. What I really need is the inner quarterlight section for the passenger, left side, opposite to what's in the attached picture, with the top plate of the top hinge attached. I don't want the outer seal, but I would like the spring, washer, and nut for the bottom hinge as well, just in case the one on the car is rusted solid. I don't care about colour or chrome as long as the bottom nut comes off okay, the top hinge is free, and the catch works. If it's too much work to drill out the rivets on the top hinge, I don't mind buying and paying P&P on the whole thing, with or without the legs that go into the door. But in that case, I will feel better if them legs and or the outer seal are knackered though. So how much to W Lancs. (FY8)? Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 If I've read correctly you just require the hinge-out part plus top hinge? I can oblige and will check the postage Monday if one is suitable. The difficult may be, as you've found, that the lower nut and spring are very heavily rusted. I've got two passenger sides and will try lots of oil and gentle pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Might not be so wonderful when you see the state of the first one... :0 The threads are quite good, I've tapped them and tried a new nut which holds well. The 'stem' that takes the spring is a bit knobbly but seems sound, as long as it's not overtightened. I even managed to save the tab washer and top hinge is excellent, I've just oiled it and it moves freely enough. Any use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A TR7 16V Posted June 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Yes, that looks absolutely fine. Thanks. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
