    Door hinge pin bolt specs?

    Turns out one reason why the driver's side door is a bit loose/creaky is that a piece is missing from the door hinge. Looking in my Bentley book (19 Body and Interior) I see the hinge pin, circle clip, washer and then a hinge pin bolt that fastens from the bottom and screw into the hing pin. This bolt is missing.

    By any chance does anyone know the specs on this bolt (size, length, pitch) or where I can find the info? Can save me removing the bolt from the passenger side.

    Thanks!

      Thanks for the link!!

      It looks one option is the $9.95 hinge repair kit (41511922737) to get the hex bolt with washer (wish they would give the specs on the bolt, it alone probably runs about $0.25).

      Still curious if anyone knows the hex bolt size. Link has the bolt specs that fastens the hinge to the door, but not the hinge hex bolt itself.

      Time to take apart the passenger door hinge and see what I find.
