I've searched high & low & even called KGPR to see what size hinge pins i need for my 1960 Ghia. Can't find any info on the topic.

My passenger side door needs new hing pins..... Any one know where i can find new hinge pins?

thanks in advance!

Re-use your hinge pins and replace the bronze inserts with these.

yes, and these don't just slide in...they need to be ever so slight sanded to fit.
Or possibly some heat on the hinge and freeze the pin :?:

But you want them to fit as tight as possible so when you get it all together you can't hardly or next to impossible to open them by hand.

Also I'm by no means an expert, I did mine and am happy with the results.... your mileage may vary :wink:
