#1 Rear door hinge difference

Post by Etypecub » Mon Jul 17, 2023 1:34 pm

Hi Guys. Can anyone out there tell me please are the two hinges of the rear door on my Series 2 2+2 meant to be the same? I can see a difference of the 'degree of bend' between the two, but whichever way around I fit them the door still catches on the bodywork of the near edge when opening or closing. Can't seem to find them in my parts manual... TIA, Rog.

They need to be shimmed to get right, a real PIA.
