Early 240Z lower door hinge

Recommended Posts

Looking for info about the different styles of lower door hinges on 240Z. Mine was built 2/70 HLS30-01769. It doesn't have the roller & cam style hinge as seen on later Z's. It has no roller to provide a detente action. It has instead two short arms that sandwich the spring arm and limit the door opening travel. Any ideas about when the roller type hinges were introduced? I need to repair or replace. Thanks.

Swampfox,

From your description, I would say that you have the early hinge and those arms can rust badly.  Post some pictures.  I looked but can't seem to find digital images of my hinges.  I may have them on film but the the comments are pretty much correct.  You shouldn't have rollers or detentes.  I would encourage you to repair your hinges.
