Rear seat doors/lids

Post by Bigdougal »

Can any one help me. Are the hinges for the rear seat doors/lids welded on top or below the panel?
Cheers

Doug,

Sorry to not have seen this earlier, you will have been waiting to get on with the welding , but can't till you know the answer to your question!

Well, you can get on with things now!

Welded on top if Lurch's lids are anything to go by!

Hi Doug,

I don't know if this will help but I trimmed the end of the pin with a cut-off blade on my angle grinder and punched the pin out to remove the lids.

The hinges are spot welded and are a pain to remove. I used a spot weld removal tool.

Removing the hinge just like Doug Lennox said.
