[QUOTE="71ProjectJunk, post: 403797, member: 7655"] You can sometimes fix the hinges with a new pin kit, depending on how bad they are. If the bronze bushing is damaged or missing, but the pin has not wobbled out the hinge hole, you can use a pin kit. NPD has the correct ones for the 1971-1973 Mustangs: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.npdlink.com/product/rebuild-kit-door-hinge/212462/202935?year=1971[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.npdlink.com/product/rebuild-kit-door-hinge/212462?backurl=search%2Fproducts%3Fsearch_terms%3DF-22811-3AK%26top_parent%3D200001%26year%3D1971&year=1971[/URL] If the hinges holes are damaged a good welder could weld up the hole and drill them back out to the correct size. My understanding is that the reproduction hinges are not very good, and to always use Ford OEM hinges. West Coast Classic Cougar sells rebuilt OEM hinges and they sell the reproductions. they tell you that the reproduction ones do not fit well and that if you buy them there are no returns: [URL unfurl="true"]https://secure.cougarpartscatalog.com/store/Search.aspx?SearchTerms=door%20hinge&CatID=15898[/URL] [/QUOTE]
