70z4fun Posted March 13, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 13, 2022 View Advert Series 1 Drivers side door hinge set? Looking for a drives side door hinge set for a series one 240z. I am looking for a new one that can be refurbished, or one that has been refurbished? Not sure what is out there, but thought i would see if anyone had a used one or if you know if I am dreaming? My current hinge is missing the spring, and has play in it. I do see later model hinges available, but would like to keep it original if possible? Let me know and I appreciate any advice Thanks Bob Advertiser 70z4fun Date 03/12/2022 Price Category Parts Wanted Year 1971 Model 240z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchzcarguy Posted March 13, 2022 Share #2 Posted March 13, 2022 The hinge on the pic seems to be a type2? the first type hinge 240z had a smaller spring and other latch mechanism i think?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S30Driver Posted March 13, 2022 Share #3 Posted March 13, 2022 I have the UPPER driver side early hinge, but not the lower one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th-Z Posted March 13, 2022 Share #4 Posted March 13, 2022 Door hinge differences: early type on the right and later type (most common) on the left. Rebuild kits for both types are available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S30Driver Posted March 13, 2022 Share #5 Posted March 13, 2022 Great picture You can see the detent & roller to hold the door open on the later hinge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70z4fun Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share #6 Posted March 18, 2022 Great pictures Yes, the one I have is the picture on the right. I am not sure there is a difference between the upper hinge on the new style vs old. I would love to get a set of upper and lower for the drivers side. However, I would purchase both sides if that is easier. I have see the rebuild kits and have found a few companies that do that kind of work, but need to find a donor set. My driver side is not rusted out but is missing a few parts. I have a little of the typical sag, but the door still works ;-0 IF anyone know of a set for the drivers or a complete set, let me know.
