Mk.II front hinges

Hi all,
does anybody have any idea which car the hinges on the front "nostril" panel on the Mk.II were borrowed from? I assume it was an American car (probably but not necessarily a Ford) and being a Brit I am not all that up to speed on American cars of the 60s :rolleyes:

Craig-

I noticed this a while ago as well and posted the question on THIS THREAD. I remember more traffic on it regarding alternate hinge sources (same overall shape, but less expensive) but don't remember what they were. Try the search function though as everything always seems to be discussed somewhere on the forum. Just need the correct keywords.

Thanks for the compliment, I am in awe of the thigs that you turn up!

Here is a picture of the ones I made from Mimi door hinges. you need to take the bevel off the hinges that account for the curvature of the side of the original car.

I bought a set of ali hinges (4) they are all diferent LH RH top and bottom, so I have a spare pair.

Steve,

cracking job on those, hats off to you.

I for one would still like to know what the originals came from though. ;)
