      I have a Light 15 , small boot .

      We want to replace the pins in the boot hinges. Would someone be able to tell me / send photos of original pins. My car had a modified bolt as the pin.

      Cheers Simon

          Not the best pics but mine seem to be a blind headed, threaded bolt with no nut. From a 1939 Light 12…

            Hi Simon

             

            Here are my hinges – my car is a 1950 French built 11BL

            You can see that on my car they are a dome headed pin and the ends are just hammered over like a rivet. They are 60mm long and 7mm in diameter and as such they are identical to the door hinge pins.

            Chris has these available from our vast selection of club spares

            If yours have had bolts put in I would suggest that you go for the oversize pins.

            Cheers
