Driver side door hinge stop

71_resurrection · Mar 21, 2015

For some reason my Mustang's driver side door has never had the stop pin that keep the door open in the lower hinge. I don't know why, but it's a pain in my butt when that heavy door slams shut on my legs! Can anyone help in providing one that is in good shape and not bent. I am not too worried about surface coatings as I will restore it with the hinge as well. Thanks everyone!

my drivers side broke last year, I haven't replaced it yet, its part of the hinge, its like a torsion spring, so its always under pressure, and they just give up after a while.

I have a set of hinges I bought, but I haven't done it yet, because I have to have them painted, and remove the fender to install it.

I was unaware that they were one piece. I was hoping I could just find the torsion bar and install it... Guess I will be on the hunt for a driver side lower door hinge, complete and don't care what shape it is in, I can blast and paint it.

The spring can be changed, they are not one piece.

Problem is finding one - most of the time if the spring is good, the hinge is good - so you end up buying the hinge just to get the spring

I'll see what I have

Thanks for that info Don, I thought it was one piece and not changeable.

I guess I know what I'm doing as soon as the weather warms up

If Don doesn't have a door hinge, let me know, I have used ones (but Don comes first). Example below.
