1954 door install

[Frank F.]

I am restoring a 54 that I bought completely disassembled and I am attempting to install the doors to the body but I must be missing something on the body. The holes in the body are to big for the bolts so I am trying to find the part that must be missing or if someone could show me a picture of the install it would help a lot

DSCN0981.jpgThis might be what you need. It's a plate that goes on the back side of the door pillar. The hinge bolts go through it. The holes in the body are larger to allow for adjustment!

Frank - if you cant find them let me know
We have a machine shop make them - we make them thicker as the originals are thinner and prone to bending....

Chris- If you could get me a price on them I would appreciate it. Would you be able to give me a price on the bolts also? I have the bolts for the hinge to the door, I need the plate to the hinge. Thanks
