If you want to just see it fitted skip to about 15:40 otherwise enjoy it from the start with the sanding, priming and painting.

Thank you! I've just changed mine using your video as guidance. The only difference in technique was to undo the nuts inside the door but leave the bolts in place. Close the door, then undo the pillar bolts. And pull the hinge off. That way no reason to hold the weight of the door. Then reverse the procedure putting it back.

The lacquer (clear coat) is usually there just to allow you to polish out any minor scratches without going into the actual paint, thus leaving the colour unaffected

Good job Gary great finish, well done for ditching the Nissan mate of mine had one cost him loads when it started to clock up the miles. Shame the Land Rover hasn't got the same cab space, I always find them a bit cramped when driving. Check out paddock parts they were great for landrover bits if there still going. Look forward to the truck tour, see how you fit all your kit into it.

When I bought a new replacement hinges which was allmakes, it had more slop than the old one I was taking off. Ended up taking the pins out and redrilling and making new pins for them. I think sometimes the stuff on that’s on eBay are seconds, as there no way they could be used as they came.

That particular door wants doing again, they have only lasted 6 years.. I might get better quality ones this time even if I only get them for the drivers door which is in constant use!

@453421abcdefg12345 Жыл бұрын

One obvious thing to have done while you were there was to change the rusty bolts for stainless steel ones, an easy fix at this stage, and plenty of copper grease on the threads. Chris B.

Brilliant video. I've just bought a defender 90 and the doors have dropped about an inch. The previous owner never sorted it and would would just slam it. I'm going to use your method of raising the catch when I replace the hinges. Let's see how it goes :)

just out of interest what sort of temperature was your garage when you painted the hinge? last experience I had of painting my bulkhead hinges in my garage the paint dried and had lots of cracks in it, not sure if it was because i didnt let it cure at the right temperature or because i didnt lacquer it

@garyhuston 3 жыл бұрын

I don’t recall what the temperature was 6 years ago but it was June so I’m guessing reasonably warm. No idea why yours cracked. Did you use fresh paint? If it dries too quickly I think it can affect it. I used new primer, top coat and lacquer and never had a problem. I have used the very same tin of top coat for several other hinges over the years with no issues.

Hi Gary, great video, thank you. I am going to have a go myself now! How adjustable, up or down, is the position of the door striker? It doesn't look as if there is much scope given it is fixed in two holes. That was the bit where your video was off. Cheers Peter

@garyhuston Жыл бұрын

The door striker has loads of adjustment but if you put the hinge back where the old one was you shouldn’t need to move it.
