door hinge bobbins

PostPost by: m1dge » Fri Jun 30, 2023 12:33 pm

Does anyone have a photo or measurements showing the position of the door hinge pin bobbin on an early (67) plus 2.

Both doors have been badly repaired at some stage and have failed again but I'm not convinced either were in the right place.

Hope someone can help. Andy

Thanks Trevor,

Could I bother you for the x and y measurements to the centre of the screw along the straight edge of the door from the rounded corner.

They don't need to be spot on but the hinges have previously been cut out so I've not got a lot to work with,

Cheers, Andy

The top front edge of the door is a poor reference point so I have used the door check strap bobbin and measured up to the hinge bobbin using a set square from the outer skin, this gives 120mm from bobbin center to bobbin center and 25mm in from the outer skin. Hope this helps.
