installing door hinges

[RTRAM]

I finally got around to buying the door hinges and tried to install them. How do you get to the bolts? The two bolts on the top hinge were above the parking brake, I don't even know how to get a wrench into there. And the outside bolt I can see, but cannot get to it.



Any help would be appreciated

I could really use the old ones!! I make the pivot portion from a 1/2" drilled pin inside a section of black steel pipe. Greasable and about ten/tweleve times heavier than needed.



The old pin and bore is cut away drilled out and the pipe is welded in place. The new pin is drilled/tapped for a zerk and holds the two sections together. It is then tack welded top and bottom to prevent movement and thus the pin rotates inside the pipe. No play. No wabble. No joke.



I don't make them to sell though. I need some more old units to modify.
