Cab door change

Hi changing cab doors on a 1974 westy the doors came off a1979 cannot get door to fit any body help

 

There was a change in the hinge design in the mid seventies, but the detail of which I’m not too sure of.

There is a conversion kit available... someone with more knowhow will be along to help soon!!

You can buy a hinge pin
Conversion but you will also need the correct hinges for your van, have you had the doors painted yet ?

 

Hi yes have conversion kit but I think it’s for 1974 door large pin to 1979 smallpin

 

Hi no have not painted doors yet

 

The kit is the same, you get a small pin with 2 bigger spacers, the spacers either go into the door part of the hinge or the non door part of the hinge depending on which way they need converting

 

Buy the correct door is what I would do, Ive seen people damage the doors without the correct hinge tool, the earlier doors are easier to get than the later ones.

 

Tried that but they seem to be binding I wondered if the hinge piece that attaches to the apost is different

 

Hi if I could get hold of some good early ones I would I’ve just repaired those

 

Which bit is binding ?

 

Hi the hinge itself

 

Put some pictures up, so I can see what you mean

 

Will do tomorrow

 

Hi fixed problem hinge on door the same but hinge part on A post different
