A TR7 16V Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 The quarterlight top hinge bracket riveted to the door of my 13/60 convertable has snapped off. It's the left hand one and the spare door I have is, obviously, right hand. But I could practice taking it off and maybe even see if I can get a mirror image copy made in stainless somewhere. Any suggestions about the best way to fix this problem would be most welcome. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn wright Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Take a look at Bodywork & Fittings page 14 - my 1600/6, I believe you can replace by removing 2 x rivets?? Its about 2 years ago since I did this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A TR7 16V Posted June 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Well I got the opposite part out of the spare door by drilling the two brass rivets visible in the top left corner, and for undoing the 1/2 nut that holds the bottom hinge. So I know how to fix it if I get the part. But I can't find a left hand bracket anywhere short of buying a full quarterlight and frame. I'm wondering if I find someone who's got a delicate hand with a MIG and will make up a tin plate to go between hinge and glass, if the old on can be welded back up.

PeteH Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 The Bracket is fabricated from 2mm steel. Its not a Particularly complex series of straight bends, With care, time and patience. I suspect it could be re-fabricated?. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
