WTB - Hinge for '72 Oil Filler Door

[kgrizard]

I was checking the oil level yesterday and the hinge for my oil filler door snapped when I closed it. Wierd.

Anyway - I used JB weld to glue the parts together but i doubt it will last and don't want to risk losing the door in the interim. Any sources for a replacement hinge out there?

Thanks,

Kevin

I bought one repro from a guy on Pelican years ago
its made of billet alum, dont remember his ID but do a search...
I have also occasionally seen his hinge on Ebay
good luck

I think I have one left. It's $55 shipped if I do. This is an improved design where the little arms that hold the pivot shaft have radiused bases...

P.S. I should mention, a replacement part is available from Porsche. Similar design to the original, but not identical.

"a replacement part is available from Porsche"

You're kidding me, right? You can get a replacement oil filler door hinge for a '72, but you can't get a dipstick? And I hadn't even bothered looking for new or repro parts - I thought it would just be wasting my time.

Bill -

Can you look and see if you have any left? If so, I will take it.

Thanks,

Kevin

Looks like my last one walked off at some point. Go see Dave! Thanks.
