Series 1 Drivers side door hinge set?


Looking for a drives side door hinge set for a series one 240z. I am looking for a new one that can be refurbished, or  one that has been refurbished?

Not sure what is out there, but thought i would see if anyone had a used one or if you know if I am dreaming? My current hinge is missing the spring, and has play in it. I do see later model hinges available, but would like to keep it original if possible?
Let me know and I appreciate any advice

Thanks

Bob

The hinge on the pic seems to be a type2? the first type hinge 240z had a smaller spring and other latch mechanism i think??

I have the UPPER driver side early hinge, but not the lower one.

Door hinge differences: early type on the right and later type (most common) on the left.  Rebuild kits for both types are available.

Great picture

You can see the detent & roller to hold the door open on the later hinge.

Great pictures

Yes, the one I have is the picture on the right. I am not sure there is a difference between the upper hinge on the new style vs old.

I would love to get a set of upper and lower for the drivers side. However, I would purchase both sides if that is easier. I have see the rebuild kits and have found a few companies that do that kind of work, but need to find a donor set. My driver side is not rusted out but is missing a few parts.

I have a little of the typical sag, but the door still works ;-0

IF anyone know of a set for the drivers or a complete set, let me know.

Thanks

Still looking for a early style hinge. I will take a pair if that works better?
