Door Hinge Repair

VegasDelta · October 15th, 2008, 08:04 PM

Does anyone know where I can find a repair kit for the door hinges for my '66 Delta 88 convertible? Thanks.

You should be able to get a door hinge kit from your local auto parts store. They are available in the HELP section.

You might check ebay. I bought an assortment of new hinge repair kits and fasteners on ebay for a good deal.

I looked on ebay and didn't see any door hinge kits for a 1966 Delta 88. I only found them for 68 and up. They have 66 Impala kits. I wonder if they will fit?

Don't waste time with Ebay. You can go to your local parts store and buy a kit for your application. All you need is to take the door off the car and replace the hinge pins and put bushings in the hinge.

Check out this link. It is for FLorida Auto Fasteners. They have the pins and bushings for 1968 - 85 on sale right now for about 15 bucks. Hope that helps. http://cgi.ebay.ca/68-85-DELTA-88-DO...d=p3286.c0.m14
Also, gotta say that I don't know if there's a difference between the hinges on a 66 or 68. Have you tried looking in a local boneyard for some good replacements? Other than that, gotta agree with Paul. Take the door off and go to a parts store with the old worn outs.

Paul,
Couldn't find any applications on the link for 66 Olds Delta. Everything seems to be limited to the 80's. Aren't there interchangeable parts that would work from 60's to 70's? After all door hinges aren't that complicated.

Thanks for the ideas. I'll follow them up this weekend.

Let us know what happens.

Found bushings at one of the few parts places that have real countermen. There was no listing for the pins. I could've tried to match the pins but luckily didn't need them. Thanks again.

Glad to hear that it turned out ok. Going to a parts store is always risky. Especially if most of their staff is 17 year old kids.

There are two here in town where the countermen are good - one of them in particular. They often groan when I come in & ask what the Olds needs now.

If a part is available, they can usually find it.

If they groan to much with out a smile it would be hard for me to go back. But it is nice you have good people to turn to. Granted I am running out of places to shop, but they do not know that. lol wa-la the Internet all day and night shopping.
