One needs a Bridgeport mill to drill & ream the hinges.
OK! Thanks for that!
The pins are sure difficult to remove.

Well, it depends. If the pin is broken in the hinge, it's now impossible to remove. If thats the case either find another hinge, or have the pin "burned" out by a tool & die shop....Expensive!OK! Thanks for that!

Jan, what sort or insulation did you put behind the headliner? A dynamat sound/ heat or something more period? I would guess the roof being fg you could probably spray a lizard skin type rubberised coating as wellI finished Sunbeam Harrington's, fastback top's headliner install today, now to color sand & buff the paint tomorrow and then I hand it over to my friend Ian Spencer to install.
All the upholstery for this project was made up right here in the workshop.

Michael,Also Jan,
What spec engine is Dave having? 1725 or 1600? Dcoe zenith or dgv?...
Its going to be such a gorgeous car, I really love the look of the harrington.. The roof profile and proportions are much more elegant than the hump back of the LM. The rear arches also dont get overwhelmed like a LM. I know it means less headroom in the rear... But its not like you use rear seats anyway. Be better to go si etype and have some nice chrome or stainless ribs on rear deck over the trim and do a real GT luggage bay.
The roof is fiberglass, don't need sound deadening. The metal hardtops and inside the doors, you do need it.Jan, what sort or insulation did you put behind the headliner?
We set the headliner bows in the original holes in the wood top frame and found the bows were touching the fiberglass. Slight mods needed due to no room for the bow pocket.The roof is fiberglass, don't need sound deadening. The metal hardtops and inside the doors, you do need it.
