Need new hinges for my drivers side door as it has too much slack for WoF and if you open it too far it locks open until you jimmy the bottom hinge with a screwdriver. 1980 Chrysler Avenger, not sure if the hinges were different between Hillman and Chrysler, also looking for rear number plate light assembly (plug and the bubble shield), Thanks :)

The Chrysler/Hillman hinges are the same and are unique, not used by other cars and hard to find new or good drivers ones.
They can be re-conditioned..just take them apart and drill out to 8mm and fit an 8mm bolt and nylock nut..fit a long enough bolt so the hinge works on the bolt shaft..not the threaded part.
If more play later...just tighten the nut some more.

I've actually just found some spare hinges in a box in my garage, but theyre all for the passenger side door, is there any way I can use these for the drivers side door just by drilling new mount holes?
