Is it early/late, left or right hand drive?

I have a late RHD extended hinge I am about to advertise.

You do still need to shorten the track though as well as fitting the hinge.

I did it to clear these.

yup as pinpin says its not just a case of bolting the extended hinge on

the track shortening is the tricky bit.
