door limiter rivet

[RootesRacer]

I had to drill mine out to remove the door limiters when I painted.

What have you guys done to replace the rivet/pivot for the door limiter slide between the two hinges?
Sorry in advance if my nomenclature is wrong.

I have a lathe and can make a rivet, just not sure how to crush the end so the pin cant fall out.

Rootes, Your question should have a ready answer by me, in that I have restored two Alpines, but I can't remember what I did.

I'll have a look later today. Hope you get an answer sooner,

Small, short bolt with self locking nut (nylon insert).

You didnt have trouble with the relief in the door snagging on the longer bolt/nut?

Grind the head of a slotted screw until it looks like the old rivet, then, lock tight the thinest nut you can find on the bottom. Done.

But the hole for the rivet is close to if not 1/4"

It's not as big as 1/4" - #10 or #12 I would say. I have a good supply of aircraft nuts and bolts in the small sizes. They have pretty flat heads and I also had some pretty thin nuts. No clearance issues. Not sure if standard stuff would fit or not.

I found a pin that fits the limiter mount and its 1/4". #10 and even #12 would be loosie-goosie for replacing the rivet.

I need something too. Any details on manufacturer / part number?

Thanks,

I think I will make a pin with a short flat head and cut a groove for an e-clip so it stays close in appearance to the original.
Thx all for your help.

Now that is a good idea! Should prove easy removal if needed

"196 Sold"

Seriously? Yeow.... is EVERY Alpine missing these?

Every one that has taken off a door needs them.

You have to drill out the original rivet making them useless
