Hi guys, need some help. I have a friend restoring a model A 5 window coupe and he would like to replace all the door hinges. He'd like to know if anyone makes them? thanks

I have bushing kits on ebay repair the ones you have.

Re-bushing would surely be better than any repop hinges.

Are you stating this as a known fact, ...or by speculation??

Your best bet is to call Bert's in Denver...They will have them for sure.

Also...be sure to tell them what year your coupe is...not sure if 28-29's are interchangeabel with 30-31's!

If you can get the mounting bolts out, i never could. thats why i cnc machined bushings. to repair what you have.

Steve, thanks for the referral, but we have no 1930-1931 hinges (coupe,tudor, pickup) style.

We get half dozen calls every week for them, as many folks dont want to pay big $$$ for new ones.

First, question: why? Are the hinges worn out?Missing? Torched beyond recognition? If you want to replace them with originals, try Bill's Model A Acres in Watsontown,PA. He may have what you need.
Second, you're going to need lots of parts. You'd best determine what year you really have, and whether it's a Briggs or Murray as there may be some differences in what you need to replace,
Third, unless you've got something magical, all the Model A coupes are 5 windows,
Fourth, get a Hemmings and send for all the catalogs you can-they feature not just parts but knowledge that will save your time. Mac's,Sacramento Vintage Ford, Mike's, Brattons are just a few.

I can just count 3 windows on my sport coupe.

Well, yes, technically true.So, metal Model A coupes, or you've really got a roadster with a top or something. But where Deuces are truly 3 or 5 windows, the As, with a few minor exceptions are 5's. No?

Experimental 1930 3 window. Got one?

Aren't oversized pins also made for worn hinges?

My first choice would be oversized pins, or bushings before the work and expense of replacing all the hinges.

I really want to thank you guys for helping me get this informatiom. I told my friend he'd be better off joining this group as this is just the beginning of his project.
Thanks again.
