Renewing front door
When the front door is renewed, it is possible that the door may not fit. This could be due to damage to the A-pillar (or B-pillar for rear doors) or an unfavourable combination of tolerance dimensions.
In such circumstances, "Service door hinges" can be fitted. They are also useful when door hinges have been damaged (cracks in paintwork or sealant).
These service door hinges have elongated holes or tapped holes which allow for provisional threaded connections for the door whilst it is being fitted.
After the front door has been adjusted, the door hinges are shielded-arc welded.
The following description can also be applied for renewing the rear door.
