door pin help...

[alex johnston]

right, i replaced the pins on the door on my renault, and it hasnt sorted the door dropping problem, its the early type i believe with the roll pin, not torque drive, it seems the hinge on the body has worn away :sad2::sad2:, is there a fix for this without having to cut and weld a new lot on, is there a new hinge kit out there etc?? any ideas...

[alex johnston]

also has anyone got a parts diagram from renault so i can see what i need , all door hinge parts, thank you:agree:

Haven't got round to sorting my door hinges yet, but had the same issue when i fitted oe pins, doors still dropped. I have since purchased bigger roll pins of ebay made from stainless, will be a case of re-drilling both door and frame hinge to except larger pins.

i would do this, but the metal dosnt look that thick to drill out:scared:

Either drill out for bigger pins (8mm rings a bell?) or drill and shim the worn hinge on the shell. You could pmt jack the door up carefully to fix it too.

Hi, I drilled the hinge on the body to 8mm then got a sleeve made to take original size pins Locktight them in, this worked a treat doors now sitting perfect.

Shim it up mate.. fit another pin, but when you fit it take a peice of tin (coke can, ) and wrap the pin, its a delcate task and may take a few goes but it works.
