Title: FC front door top hinge "springs" Post by: Greg McNamara on January 08, 2001, 01:00:00 PM The top hinge of my FC front doors has a "spring" rivetted in place to keep the door in the open position. They are fatigued (one broken off, the other about to). Is it possible to get these somewhere and replace them on the hinges?

Check the brass bushes & hinge pins for wear while you have the hinges out as well. These items are the usual culprits for door sag. They can best be replaced using the bushes and pins from rear door hinges since they are the same. Ken
