driver's door hinge spring

[Silverback]

This is quickly going up on my list of annoyances on the basket case. The driver's door hinge spring is missing. Where can I get a new one? Are they tough to replace?

Hello,

Ours was missing too but hinge was warn out so repro was our answer. Don't know if they would sell just the spring but try Desert Valley Auto parts out of Phoenix. They're a recycler with lots of old iron.

I got mine from Don at OMS

Been there, tried that, did it again, the slot for the spring was worn. I got a good used hinge and pin and bushing kit from Don at OMS. It can be changed with the fender on the car. Remove front left wheel and splash shield and access the hinge bolts. Tape the door and fender edges and be VERY careful opening and closing the door or you will lose paint from both. You will still need to adjust the hinge, two people makes this a lot easier. Chuck

The hinge can be changed or just the spring? Do you have to pull the hinge to replace the spring?

With the amount of questions I'm asking that I'm getting the response "just talk to Don..." I'm thinking I'm going to need to just buy stock in his company, it will save me money in the long run after I send his kid's to college...

You can fiddle f---- around or you can make one call and get everything you need from Don. It only stings in the beginning after a few orders, than you can actually see his children getting their PHD at Harvard and Don driving to the ceremony in his Testarosa! If you can get past the first few times you got it made.Luv ya Don hope all is well until you get my next order

The hinge can be changed. The hinge has to be off the car to change the spring. Don is a great source of information and parts. Especially for someone like me who doesn't care for most reproduction parts. He will actually take the time to look for small pieces. As far as the Ferrari goes, I doubt it. A. he likes Fords and B. the profit margin just isn't that big. Chuck

With the deals that Don has I haven't even ask about pricing anymore. I just check the card statement first of the month! I like giving my money to people I know and trust. He's good people.

What irony - I just popped into the WTB forum for a driver's door spring, and found this thread at the top. Talk about luck

didn't a GT40 go for something like $11M recently?

Don, do you know?




I don't see it on the site, am I missing something?
