    Two main types for late bays. Early hinged and late hinged.

    The late ones also have a hole for the push button lock and different stays
     
  5. Left, right and sliding.
     
  6. And rear, or is that a tailgate?:thinking:
     
  7. Tailgate and engine lid, I think. :rolleyes:
     
  8. Swaged and not swaged.
     
  9. Rusty knackered ones and unbelievably expensive ones.

  10. 72 to 75 doors and 76 onwards. Although it seems some of the 75 buses have 76 onwards doors. Its all in the hinges.
    you should post a picture of your doors focus on the hinge area. The check straps are different too.

  12. Excuse the dirt, it's not got a pull for the lock it's on the handle

  17. The doors on my 73 were replaced about 12 years ago with new but they don't fit very well. Could they be late doors and so not fit well? It fells like they bind on the hinges before latching fully.

    Pictures would be helpful if you can't tell from the pics I posted!
     
  19. Looking at some doors that were for sale on the weekend I saw the pre 75 doors have two more differences.

    The late bays with a rubber step pad have a bigger recess on the bottom the early doors have a 10mm step the later pre 75 doors have a 20mm step.
