Door Hinge Differences

Post by Steve_69 »

I cleaned up, stripped and primed my door hinges. I noticed that 2 hinges have 8 countersunk bolt holes and 2 hinges have 6 countersunk holes and 2 flush holes. I did not notice this 3 years ago when I took them off. I could not find anything on the Tech Wiki or Rallye site that talks about this difference. Thoughts? - Steve

Both of my hinges on the Driver side are 6 countersunk and 2 normal. The two normal go to the frame side rather than the door side of the hinge. I have mine off right now while I'm fixing my door stop.

Couldn't check the passenger side due to the way the car is parked, but assume it's the same
