Center door hinge Drivers side - SneezerUSA - 28-01-2022
Have been repairing hinge screws that no longer have grip due to wood being stripped out. Discovered that the pillar side of hinge may have been installed incorrectly from the factory. Drivers side door hinge is set inwards way more that the passenger side hinge. This created a nasty door panel to cowl panel alignment. Appears my only way to correct is to purchase one of Jamie's long hinges and redrill. ANYONE have a different idea? I have no idea why one image flipped on its side

SOLVED my own problem. Ignorance on my behalf. I had the hinge halves interchanged. Door side was on the cowl pillar and the cowl pillar side was on the door side. Took 5 minutes to change around. Its still fouled up as the pin cannot be removed without taking the entire hinge off. Pin is now as it was prior to my taking the door off. Been that way since 1932.
