Title: 70 door hinge pin and bushings.

Looking for original Ford NOS door hinge pin and bushings. Need both lower and upper for both doors. Let me know what you have.

Thanks

John

The 60-68 MPC lists B9A-5943070-A, pin, cut to length; and C3Az95422841-A, bushing. I don't know what criteria you would use to verify a NOS part from an aftermarket part as neither is marked, and identified by markings on a bag.

Because the aftermarked parts I have found does not look anything close to the originals. If you know where they have parts that looks like the original I would try that.

Thanks

If you find someone with a small lathe, you can make the repro / aftermarket pins look just like the factory pins. I'd find a local machinist and bring him a few repro pins and an original sample ...

Might be possible, but would have been easier to find the right parts in the first place!

Was aware of it, but the head pic is not that good.

What do other people do? Buy NOS hinges or.....?

I had a small Atlas (Craftsman) hobby lathe that was perfect for this and a myriad of other uses. I sold it and bought a much larger 10" Atlas capable of actually dressing  the end of 9" axle shafts!
You can find the smaller lathes used for around $500. And yes, it will pay for itself.

A friend with a lathe did it for me. Came out perfect.
