MK1 Cortina 1965 bonnet hinge's needed

[Johnny Boy]

I'm looking for a pair of good unworn bonnet hinge's for my MK1 Cortina, the paint / body man says that they a worn.

Please let me know if you have a good pair for sale.

Thanks Johnny

Somewhere in the back of my mind, I seem to remember bonnet hinges are generic thru Mk 1 & 2 cortina and Mk 1 & 2 Escort, I think they all fit, worth a check.

Thanks, I thought the same too, but I bought some MK2 Cortina ones, and MK2  Escort ones.

They were both indentical, to each other,  but not the same as MK1 Cortina.🙄

I re pinned mine using slightly larger Clevis pins drilling to suit and peening the heads over, worked a treat.

All sorted, I got some 10mm clevis pins , and got a pal to turn the ends down ,  drilled the hinges to 10mm,then drilled a hole in the end, and rivited them in place by using a press 😀
