door pin kits

[deerchooper]

i got my doors off of my 1933 oldsmobile. as one would suspect the door pins and bushings are junk. i dont think a trip down to autozone or napa is going to help me.

i have alot of measurements for these pins and bushings.

does anybody know where i could get some? does anybody have any measurements from other rides so i could compair if they will work for me?

i need some help guys.

thank you
terry

You might take a quick trip to the local head rebuilder. See if a replacement bronze valve guide could be made to work, it will have the 11/32 hole. A valve with that stem size could be cut down to fit. Bronze bushing with a stainless pin, won't rust.

I used antique door hindge pins, and they fit right in. No bushings though.

I machined mt own at work. So that might be an option for you if you have a local machine shop that does small jobs like that.

Late 40's early 50's and probably a lot more then I know about, didn't use bronze bushings, it was steel on steel... I simply get a new set of pins and bushings that are close to the right size and drill to fit the OD of the bushing. Use a drill press to keep it straight. Excess length can simply be cut off.

thats what i did. but i drilled the door hinge on the door and installed everything.
