extending the slide door hinge...

Post by lhd »

Am I right in believing that a syncro hinge is longer than the average bear. Only I have just purchased a new set of alloys and they will foul the slide door. I was going to weld two together but am sure I heard someone say a syncro one will do,any Ideas?
Any help will be gratefully recieved.
many thanks lhd.................

Door runner

Someone on the old club site did a hinge modification ( he made one longer hinge by cutting two hinges and welding them together, he also modified the runner) to allow clearance of his wide rear wheels ( it must be a couple of years back now) he photographed his progress as he went along, so check the archives or ask at brickyards site, I've a feeling he may know.
