Convertible deck door hinge pic? Please?
Sorry! sorry I keep posting about my little project. I need one more favor.
I'm looking for the two door glasses for the vert. I'm also looking for a set of deck door hinges. I know what I'm looking for with the glass, but I wouldn't know a deck door hinge if it bit me in the A--.
I'll humbly admit to complete ignorance in what these look like, and I don't want to buy a nice set of anythings on e-bay with out knowing exactly what I'm supposed to be bidding on.
Does anyone have a pic of a hinge? Just sitting out on a bench or on the floor would be fine. It doesn't have to be installed or anything.
Just one more pic and I'll stop posting about this for a while.....no, really!
Thanks!
John

Hmmmm....I'm glad I asked and you posted! They are different lookin', that's for sure! The underside of your lid is interesting too! I was told the one I bought was complete, but as a posterchild for the unimformed I wasn't sure about that either...thanks!

Thanks for the pics! They've already came in handy. I just checked out e-bay. Someones selling NOS deck hinges for $68. Only problem is they're only half the hinge assembly. I wouldn't have even known this with out seeing these pics first.......thanks again!

Just goes to show ya. I had three different search catagories with completely different search terms trying to cover my bases, and STILL didn't bring these up.
Thanks!
My catalogs show the major parts of the hinge to be the same, 68-75. However the bottom bracket, the "Deck Lid Hinge Reinforcement" changes. One is for 68-70 then 71-75. I've no idea if these are early or late, (I've no idea if I NEED early or late) but if it happens to be wrong both are re-popped and no trouble to get a hold of. Once again the crew on the forum come through.
I'm gonna put you guys in my will....
Thanks!!
