Title: Door Hinges Pip Pin quick release Post by: samotorsport on November 24, 2021, 16:01:53 pm Hey gents , i plan in putting a quick release system into the door hinges of my dragster.
The original pins are conic , so a M8 x 65 falls straight through and does not guide the door very precise. I wonder what you did , bushing into it and reamed to 8 mm ? Or any other kind of pin or bolt used ? Please share your experience and maybe some pics and a place to order the pins .

you can use a quick release pin size 21/64 = 8,33 mm or the 11/32 = 8,73 mm best way to do regards Otto Bros 😎 Title: Re: Door Hinges Pip Pin quick release Post by: samotorsport on December 01, 2021, 10:02:35 am Thanks a lot ! Where did you get yours from ?

You can then slide the door onto this pin and then simply use a pit pin (quick release pin) on the top hinge. It makes it very easy to refit the door by yourself...

So here is what I did . Not the quickest way but very precise , and quick enough for my needs . Upper and middle part drilled to 10 mm, lower hinge tapped to M10 . So you slide the door in place , keep it there with the bolts in and lock it by screwing it down . For the moment standard allen key M10x60 installed . Gonna swap them to dome head bolts on final assembly (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211202/0267bc309036b018e7deac708bce8944.jpg) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
