western Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 they are chassis numbers the last 8 digits something like WA786111, part of the VIN & chassis number, look on the brake pedal mount in the engine bay, you should find a plate with the VIN/Chassis number & axle weights, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 The later hinges with the part numbers similar to BDB710180 (this is lower hinge) have better pins and small plastic washers between the 2 parts of the hinge, to help stop rust from forming and dribbling down the door. unfortunately, they're about £24 each instead of the £5 for the earlier ones.

western Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Yep, go for the early parts, but the later hinges would fit & only the spacer washers that DJ mentions is the only difference, so you have a choice just make sure you order the right hinges for the right location.

Thanks, I've decide on MXC 8282/MXC 8283 for front bottom hinges This 110 is turning into a project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I think that whatever you do, hinges will end being regarded as consumables as they tend not to last too long I'm afraid. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
