Bent Door Hinge
« on: August 19, 2022, 10:02:04 AM »
Hello all, I have a 1971 1750 GTV, and while refurbishing the door hinges I’ve discovered a significant bend in the upper, left door hinge.  Does anyone have any advice on straightening the cast aluminium without damaging it?

Thanks in advance.

Classic Alfa have them

They also have a hinge kit… which may be the issue?

Other suppliers available, you’re mileage may vary, see a Dr etc., if the virus persists
