Thread: seeking some information about Door top support hinges

Jeff, a couple of points:
In my book doortops spoil the vibe of the thing. They're claustrophobic, the vision isn't good through the perspex, they rattle, it makes opening/closing the door inconvenient, need I go on? If the weather's inclement wear a rainproof (and windproof) motoring jacket. And a cloth peaked cap, just like in the old ads.

But if you insist from the point of view of completeness, I'd suggest buying the door component of the hinges as above and getting the part bolted to the windscreen fabricated from steel strap and a short piece of tube, or rod drilled out. MIG the two together then galv. or perhaps aluminium paint would look good enough. I have a complete pair of doortops but I haven't used them in over 40 years.
Cheers, Rob S

True. Worse he has to worry about is the Freo Doctor.
