Mine worked very well, and they look very similar if not identical to those on your eBay link.

At that price, it is certainly worth getting them and making them fit. The original ones are very cheap and rust easily.

The ends of the hinge pins are tapped in 5/16 coarse IIRC. That should help when you are ready to take them out.

HI:
I had the same problem with a 45 on my Hermes conversion.
Put in a pressure regulator set for 2 psig ..end of problem.
It was very disconcerting that smell of gas heading down the 401.

Thanks again Brian - a job that will be coming up in the next month or two as I need to deliver it to the sprayers with doors removed - they were particular about that - it's almost like they knew!  ;D

Hope it's OK to resurrect this thread, but the link to the seat runners has expired (no, really!). I see Alex is still around on here, so just wondered if he could confirm what type the runners were, and if they worked oK once back in the car. Looks like they would improve on the disintegrated originals I have

Was it similar to these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144623272999?epid=28047138709&itmmeta=01HXAGRZ5YWEYMQQWCX595JAWW&hash=item21ac380427:g:Tc8AAOSwJgxhg424&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8BhwJTAkcwcU8xG3XozyuUtsKR0zo5vbolFODBrrSuqSqJa%2FJQUd0KBznCIDv5r4pbpjJfdkd3xDIBaGIZ%2B4qwdnpan6f3gnDJDcjeulkyvr%2B1S4yBsrf1XQvY%2FnzujtJh9yq%2FZ8eaZy5JLoOi%2B5wRJm4Vsbvs2%2Bso%2BOPdWWiiyHdIrz3hy2i%2BGBDsz%2Fmn7hM2EJbNnSOagVXNDZPBqCaphk%2FEBXmbjdTdxpxj5hxmefZcs43VfL0z4k23IrTtqi6TN3mODAZrWj9BPqAGE8FJQET%2FfWwRUb%2FzUrsX9mwC%2B4ACQL9BOXT2lBH37ZEGkEOA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMjPPj0Opj

Yep, looks like the access hole to remove the door pin (now there's a job to look forward to  :)  )

If you get underneath & look up you should see the bottom of the 1/2" steel door pin. This is threaded (1/4" ?) which you can make up a slide hammer arrangement to pull it down/out with the car in the air.  In practice, if this is the first time around then it's more than likely rusted solid, release fluid might get it loose but be prepared to cut it away or get mole grips from inside the door to get it started.

That hole under the door looks like the access tot he door hinge pin. Looking up it, does it align with the hinge bobbins in the body?

Good shout - there's a "matching" but tidier hole on the driver's side, and I can feel the bottom of the hinge through the hole.

You’ll have to pull it down and see what’s up.  Times when mind was leaking enthusiastically were when the inner ring was not seated properly.
