Re: replacing door check link divets

Hawks wants $600 for all four complete hinges. I saw a guy in a thread on here who got greaseable ones (check links). I dont know where to get these (greaseable or not) but im in the market for them as well so hopefully someone chimes in. Hawks does sell the pin and bushings.

Re: replacing door check link divets

Sorry, no easy or inexpensive solution. Not availeble separately from GM. However, GM does sell a replacement door hinge assy but it is VERY expensive. A prior owner replaced the rivet on the drivers door hinge of my Firebird with a bolt and nut.

I suppose you could grind the bottom of the rivet from a junker that was in good shape, then weld a washer onto the base of the rivet. If you're careful the repair won't be visible from above.
