Hinges

[foghorn]

Not a bad price for the buy it now if they are not worn out. If you go look in the yards to see if they are worn out just lift the hood up in the open position then see how much further they go up by pushing up more. I would say any more than 4" play is to much.

Its not aways the hinges themselves sometimes the springs are worn.

The 71/72 hinges were a little sturdier than the earlier ones, it's not obvious looking at them except by comparing them one to another.

Gold plated?

[Heavenlyfire]

Mine were worn and bent pretty bad. I got out the welder and the vice and fixed them up really well. They look great and work very well. Now I just need to find somebody to chrome them.

[Calvin Gunter]

I guess you call it gold cadium plated,sort of like a new brake booster color or a new master cylinder cap color.

my carpenter catalog only shows the standard painted ones for 100 a pop wonder what they'd charge for chrome?
