Hey over there! I'm seeking info on Wizard kits, especially sedan delivery kit. I'm not sure, but all the Wizards look like BGW fiberglass originally made in US. I own a bgw special delivery and would like to convert the rear door to be as a Wizard type: side hinges and side latch as opposed to "swing up " vertical mounting.
So any pics, instruction manual info ,or guide to hinges would be much appreciated. Thanks

Consider posting your request on the kitcar forum I did a search on that forum for " wizard" and got a good number of results. may also try " delivery van" and simular descriptive terms. Good luck _________________ Sorry About That Chief.

I don't think there's anything too tricky to it, just a case of fitting a couple of hinges and a latch. probably need some strengthening behind the body where the hinges attach. most seem to have external hinges.

I would be looking for something like these self aligning classic hinges

Thanks Finster, those look the proper style. Wondering if the orig kit had specific hinges and latch. I'm sure the bgw door is gonna need some fab on fiberglass, since it's hung vertically not horizontgrateful!
Any more photos or assembly manual pics/info woud be a great help. I see "refrigeration door hinges" are similar. _________________ "A life of peace and happiness depends on your own gratefulness" |
