[AMC-List] Door hinges......

["William Renshaw" <lionwren@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are the door hinges on all small bodied AMC cars the same? Can I swap the 
door hinges from my Matador parts car to my Gremlin? I have "tried" to 
rebuild a pair on time on an Eagle that I had and to say the least...not 
only was it a pain, they didnt last very long. They wore out with in a 
couple of months. Dont know if I did somthing wrong when I did the pins and 
bushings thing or what, but they where the same as it was before I tried to 
rebuild them. The hinges off of the Matador are in really good shape and 
those big doors have no sag in them at all and I would like to use them on 
my Gremlin. I know AMC did alot of "money saving things and ideas" So I 
would think (dangerous thing for me to do....sometimes!) that they are all 
the same. I would just like to know before I go and tear off the doors to my 
Mattie.  Any responce is grealty appreciated and welcomed!
