-

-

-
looks like a 68-69 toyota crown unit to me
-
checked out images, some crowns seemed to have a blinker unit on front the bumper, but have not seen any pics of any on back bumper ??? ??? only tail lens setups.... do you know if there was a model with blinker incorporated rear bumper merlin ??? ???
-
to me it looks like a 1967 CHRYSLER VALIANT VC SAFARI.

Skip, what about a HQ rear, they had both brake and indicator assembly.

thats the one ..... solved :o :o :o
-
cheers vanwolf ;) had a feeling it was chrysler...... have a HQ one on at mo, looks good, but this looks biggerer n beefierer...... ;D ;D ;D will have to see if the dents can be coerced back into place first
-
hey skip, I reckon that HQ would be worth a bit too, more than the Chrysler,XB,XC are also a good fit(and beefier). Can you pls take some pics of your rear door hinges, and mounts, would like to change mine when I get a chance. Cheers Dano
-
sorted ;)... heres a couple of the inside ( including strut mount ) an top hinge outside.. let me know if you want any other shots dano... cheers ;D outside top
-
hmmm only 1 came up ??? ??? try again.. inside top..
-
ok , must be a "bastards incorperated" product.... single load it is..... strut mount passenger side
-
...open sesame........ struts would hold door up till i whacked a couple of jensen speakers in ;D ;D ;D ;D now one strut is chocked on driver side to hold open,,,
-
and top hinge with door shut... .. have fun dano ;) ;D
-
Perfect thankyou

[VC Valiant to be exact/quote]

Hi Skip, could you get me some really clear shots of that hinge system you have set up, as well as the hinge dimensions - i like the look and it looks pretty solid.
cheers mate

I was thinking the same thing. And a comment on how solid please.
Thanks Skippy.

Looks like a piano hinge to me which is what was used on my side door. Here's a link to the page that had a couple of shots of mine.

Thanks Rogue, but what is the hinge made of? Did you use stainless? i figure painting the hinge would be near on useless so if its not stainless, how do you prevent the rust?

You DON'T :)

I did use stainless. You are correct.
It seems to have held up OK over time although it probably hasn't had quite as much use as it would have if it had been on the road more frequently.
There was a discussion on here somewhere over whether a piano hinge was suitable or not and I'm not ruling out having to come up with something else for whatever reason in the future but for now it seems to be OK. I guess the main test will be the certifying engineer.

Beddies left the factory with rust

hey groovers.... had a good gander at it and it has been mounted in the same fashion as rougues has mounted his.... could well be a piano hinge but to me seems a tad heavier duty for a keyboard cover...maybe the hinge that holds the top on where one looks inside ??? or possibly a grand piano hinge ??? ok, dimensions of the hinge are , flange that is tack welded to the doortop.. 14mm. hinge centre diameter round the 6.5mm. flange that is screw mounted to the body about 20mm...total length of hinge 1290mm
-
hinge pivot is only bit showing on outside, this door has a habit of unlatching itself on occasion....have heard it bump when going over dips in rd etc, so has taken a bit of punishment and has always stayed solid, has been dropped shut couple of times with no damage
-
the door itself is extremly solid, an heavy, so the hinge seems to handle it without sighs of stress to any part of its mounting....
-
the door itself at an educated guess had once been 2 single rear barn style doors, that have been welded together to create one "biggie" these two piccys lead me to believe this
-
hope this helps guys if need any more info/shots just let me know.... an finally, and has nothing to do with the doors, a piccy for george of my new hubcaps cos i think they look reeeal cool..cheers skip ;)
-
Thanks Skippy and Rogue. I never thought of using a piano type hinge. Perfect!
-
Just be careful with it as I don't know what the certifier will say. I'll find some time to look it up in the regs.
-
i have two vans here with piano type hinge.... the swb has a top door and a lower with a panel between
and the parts van has two , a top and bottom , but open to be a full size opening
-
"Piano" is just a style, it doesn't mean that it actually came off a piano, the hubcaps are XJ6 Jaguar I was using Jag front & rear suspension on a Street Rod I was building

correctmundo petrol; XJ6 rims n hubbies , but pissed off the jag heads for griffin heads instead, ...aawww u mean my hinge isnt off a grand..... was gonna tell people it was a "frankenstein hinge" ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Here's the relevant section regarding door hinges from the NZ Technical Manual. From what I read size matters. As long as the hinge is big enough it should be OK.
