Drivers door hinge 66 Valiant

The Resto Rick kit is good for just doing the pivot pins only, but are 2 X oversize from factory because he doesn't know what size you actually need. .406 size. Factory .338 .
It is 2x over just in case you have one that is really big.
I have a few different sized custom pins so I use only the smallest possible oversie to leave more material in the hinge for pin support. .375 is the size that most hinges need.
The hinge pin holes are seldom centered on the hinge and are thin a lot of times in the area supporting the pin.
Look at it like only being able to buy .060 pistons even though your cylinder bore only needs a .030.
Leaves the cylinder walls thinner than needed.
I also replace the door check pins and springs which are frozen or the opins have worn off center.

Over 25 years experience doing Mopar only front door hinge rebuilds. Completely rebuilt, not a pin job.

You do nice work for sure, but the Resto Rick kit is still a great option for us diy-ers. It's much better than the generic bushing/pin kits at the autoparts store. I believe he sells the roller pins too, though those are a pretty quick project for those with access to a lathe.
