Topic: 66 - 67 Convertible owners, need your help...

[Oz390]

Trying to nail down some dates for a design change to the main frame hinge, over the door glass. Docs I have are not too clear.

If you have a top frame with a main hinge as shown below, and believe it to be original, if you could post or PM me your build date it would be appreciated.





Tried a few other forums, one reply... not really a good sample to document a range of dates!

Looks just like mine.  My car was built in Dearborn with a proposed build date of Feb. 18th 1966.

I'll take a look at my 67 but not sure how much I can see w/ the top up?

[Oz390]

Thanks one more new range date! Pushed it one month earlier!

The face of the pin is unique, has the little hole in it shown.  Should be able to see that side (the head of the pin shown is on the inside on the few I've seen).  May be able to feel the hinge for how thick it is and if its got the pin one side bush the other if not...

Ok, great... the guy who solf me these parts indicated they came off a '67, but nothing more than that.   Any '67 owners who can chime it to find an estiamted end date... ?

Hi Oz390,

Not sure if you saw this, but I posted a reply to your earlier inquiry here:

Richard,

You probably know already but, that's the exact hinge my MAR 66 Metuchen car has and the same revision I drew for you a couple of years ago.

That one appears to have a "C-bore" in the opposite half for the head of the screw.  I can't remember if mine had that or not.

Here's the pins right before I sent them to the platers.

#1's or #7's...can't remember which...And the 4 black bushing halves in the background.\
