Hey peeps Just carried out this mod last week and WOW, the Hinges on my LR90 were shot big style, Got a set of hinges of fleabay and they turned out to be Brit Parts and felt as if they had almost as much slop as my current ones so was glad i was doing the mod,
Any hows i punched out the pins then drilled out the door hinge NO PROBLEM,
To get everything aligned i pushed the spline end of the hinge pin back in the top of the body hinge and put it in my pillar drill so i could get the vice to align easier, then drilled out the top part, This is where i came across the only problem of the whole operation. the two holes are not inline. once drilled all four hinges showed that the top hinge hole is offset by about 2mm to the lower hinge hole.
To get round this i did not cut my new bolts to length. Instead i ground the bolts to a round point, what this did was when i assembled the hinge it alloud me to use a hex wrench and gently tap it with a hammer and that pushed the bolt into the thread, Once it was started it was all ok.
So really good mod and now i have no door related problems and some nice hinges. Just thought i would let you know what i found encase its not a Brit part design and just a general design
