for fooks sake doesnt anyone know what the search facility is??

 

heres a quote and images and even a damn link reguarding the best kit available PERIOD! :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal

 

if you remember guys i told you about these hinges a while ago, as chris greddy was going to get the vdc ones in.

 

the best lambo hinges to get full stop are the GT FACTORY hinges.

 

cnc machined 1 1/4" inch cromaloy billet stainless steel, they are dual ram and are the 90 degree hinges, voted usa number one hindge last year and this year, uks best import hinge this year.

 

weld on kit only, but!!!!!

 

i am having some door mounts lasercut for mine that will allow the units to bolt on.

 

you template the inner of the door where the bolts go top to bottom then step a section in, give it to the laser cutters and then the shoe gets welded to this plate not the door!

 

on the wing you then template a t section from the top of the door fixings to the bottom then a pice that runs horizontally inwards the verticle section is bolted and the rear of the section has two small inch welds. the hinge gets welded to the plate and not your car, that way you keep all the strength of the fixing holes.

 

heres the main website for the hinge makers.

yeah, no-one can find it tho - do a search!! :D

PK's right all these kits DO NOT FIT and are a pile of donkey crap. I got a kit in to look at and the quality was that bad i sent them straight back.

 

Them doors are for Lambos and CHAVS we own neither, keep it that way :hyper:

Only been here a week sorry... lol

I liked the look of these cos they were bolt on but i'll take your word for it...

 

Cheers... :-)

Dont mind PK he's probably hungry :D

And there are no passing heards of cows at the mo

Checked out the recomended link above... these kits are obviously universal fit so I assume they just need a bit of adjusting to get them to fit right... any good bodyshop can bugger them up for me to save me doing it myself I expect :rolleyes:

me probably hungry...??? im always hungry!!

 

 

just to ratify this, dont touch the bolt on kits, they look nice for show cars ... not!! only open 40 to 60 degrees, so you limbo to get in, they are all made of a poor quality steel.. the vdc, decah,etc kits are crap....

 

last time i say this..

 

i spent a very very long time researching all of these hinges, and the only one that comes out on top is the GT Factory hinge.

 

it opens to 90 degrees thats straight up for those of you who cant handle basic geometry... they dont wobble... they are fully adjustable on multiple planes of angle. they wont rust, or snap and the dorrs just fly up on the upgraded rams..

 

now then to buy them in the uk will cost you £800 thenyou need to get them fitted, on one of the links is a car that had them fitted a member here, not on a zed but a cavalier or vectra or summat.. but they were fitted properly, and welded direct to the car.

 

However after speaking to many people in the states and they guy who fitted them to a zed out there, you can make mounting shoes for the hinge and its shoe to weld to then make it bolt to your car with only minor welds needed for reinforcement.

 

luckily i can design and get these fabricated myself, i can also weld and fit the hinges myself. however if you are not sure of doing the job yourself get someone who can do the job for you to do it.

 

you can goto these following people.
