Mini door hinges? Or some other old car

Hi,

plan to use these on the Melos, when all the bling goes on...

Hinges

if that does not work go to Europa Specialist Spares > Brightwork > Hinges

would you need a metal bonnet? I guess so

Welcome Dave, you got it started yet

I bulilt a Melos as my first kit car project when I was about 20 yrs old. Ages ago now. Where abouts are you in Essex Dave as I'd quite like to see one again.

Looks like Morris minor hinges...

Thanks

i would like to see the underside of the bonnet to see what sort of support they have

they also look a bit like the boot hinges that are fitted to the Pilgrim Sumo that Mark Evans builds in A Car is Born if that helps

early Mazda Rx-7 rear decklid hinges.
