Ive been striking out so far searching online. Both of mine broke and i currently have a plate instead but would like to replace the hinges.
Need to find an early pair of windshield hinges for my 69 40 (1 Viewer)

The pins broke and are very seized in the hinges. I have replacement pins and bushings but damaged the hinges with many failed attempts to get the stuck pins out.
SOR has them.

For future reference, drill out the pins instead of destroying the hinge bracket by trying to bash the pin out. Same with early hood hinges (use a door pin, cut the round end off and bash the ends flat to lock into place for the OE look). If you do it right even patina paint survives.
I agree. What I did was soak, soak, and soak the pins with kroil for a few weeks. Then pushed them out with a hydraulic press. I still had to press a small way, them more kroil. The pins made it our and all was well.

I did try to drill, i rushed the attempt drilling a
i spent over a month pressing, electrolysis, penetrants, heat, a 15 ton press… the best I got was part of a center pin to move 1/8” before getting very stuck and not moving again

I hear you, have done so too. Buy some good quality bits, I like carbide for rusty stuff, although they break easily, they power through and are cheaper than getting new hinges.
Use carbide bits from pro machine tool shops, not introductory grade cobalt stuff from hardware/chain stores. About 5 minutes per side and paint matches when you do a patina resto. But to each his own

Best to leave a voicemail. I’m rarely able to grab the phone in real time. Hands in a carburetor, or under a hood, or something else along those lines. One man shop
