Bentley , as long as the pins & bushings are good that shouldn't hold up the door alignment ... Would it, the detent is to hold the door open correct ?
I understand your point. I think Chick was wanting to show the quality difference from his pic, not specifically was he talking about the detent, just the hinge pins, but illustrating some inconsistencies. (Thanks, again,chick). My pins and bushings are junk.
I am going down a new path right now of the world of reproduction parts. I am hoping friends on CRG can navigate me in what parts I should buy for accuracy and quality. Up till now, I have only bought or acquired a few non GM parts and I have been very disappointed, to the point, that I avoid repro stuff all together.
But, the time has come that all soft items, from sub-frame mounts to trunk mat to window felts, to vinyl top, etc...you get the point that I will need to buy and I cannot afford NOS when a trunk seal goes for, like, $1200! YIKES! My car is not that desirable that I could justify that kind of outlay for a part. Nor, am I that ,um, crazy to spend that kind of money, although I am about as crazy over 67-9s as you can get.
If these pins I ordered are, like Scott says, inferior and I have a better alternative, this could be costly and problematic. I am the type that likes to do it one time right instead of three times wrong. I get very frustrated.
