I am trying to finish up the design but I had a question about the bracket that bolts to the door on the origional hinge.
The hinges that I bought has the holes for the hinge pin offset by about 1/8 of an inch from each other. My stock hinges on my car are the same way.
In other words, if the hinge brackets was bolted to something perfectly vertical the way that they are attached to the door, one door would be tilted down and the other door would be tilted up.
This just does not compute. Should there have been right and left door brackets? Should the holes actually be in-line?
