1970 console door hinge
« on: December 20, 2014 - 09:22:37 PM »
Is the hinge on the 1970 console door the same as the 1971 up models? I seem to be missing mine. Thanks

Here's an old ebay ad, read what he says in the description. Seems that '71 and up would work.

Thanks, the listing said it was the same for 70 but the 70 had a stronger spring.

I have a 70 and feel that the 70 spring is too strong. I think it caused warping to the door. If a 71 is weaker I would use it. I may myself.
