Take-apart door hinges (2 Viewers)

Buy a set and add the bump yourself..

I'm really diggin' this idea.. might have to purchase a set for both doors

you mention in line with other available hinges - note that these hinges look stock.. yours are close but not quite there

not to be picky but could you get the little bump in the door part of the hinge - I would jump at a set that looked stock with that upgrade

i just take s*** apart, clean and paint it and say i rebuilt it... i can't machine s***! lol which is why i was asking him if there was a way.. he looks like he has some resources..

I'm just a life taught fabricator, learned as necessary to get stuff done on my cruiser. This is just an outcome of it that I didn't think I should keep to myself. I had the opportunity to learn cruiser fab from a genius. I appreciate form, but not over function.

For anyone who's interested, I've come up with a name for my operation and my hinges. I'll show that with the website I'm slowly getting together with paypal. Sorry for the delay. I'm pretty retarded when it comes to computing devices.

The first cruiser pic taken indoors is my SBC 1978 FJ. Mathew has been working diligently on my doors making sure they fit the older and the newer wide doors. I can personally attest that not only do these hinges look good, but my doors have never closed this well with a nice tight lock up. Close the door, it's shut. No more pushing it in by hand after I have swung the door shut. I like the look of the black hinges on my cruiser. These are stout pieces and are much stronger than the stock units. Plus you no longer have to pound the pins out and swing your windshield down to clear the top pin. Mthew is also building me an extra half set for my half doors so I can change doors out in a matter of minutes. This product is long overdue and is an easy install to replace your old hinges or to upgrade your exisitng hinges to make door changes a snap. great job!!!

more in work, getting better

Here's part of the next 7 sets I'm working on. I ran out of flap wheels and started priming what was cleaned up. Finish the rest and install hardware tomorrow.

MC Designs Offroad "Quik Hinges"

This will probably be one of my last posts on this thread before moving it to the merchandise section to stay legal on 'mud.

I will retail the Quik Hinges for $139 per set, and about half that for extra sets of door halves. This would be around the same as two new factory hinges and less than other aftermarket stainless or chromed pieces I've seen. I would also be glad to supply them to any interested shops.

As business smart people have instructed me, the above retail price would give me an appropriate amount of markup over all of the costs involved.

I am going to call my enterprise MC Designs Offroad and the hinges are Quik Hinges. I have a website slowly in work. I hope to facilitate orders from the site and will link it to 'mud.

Thanks for reading,

Matthew

Ok... but lets us mud guys keep this thread going to post up what everyone thinks of these when they get them. This looks like great product!

One of the hinges for the Cruise Moab raffle set will have a nylon wing nut to allow proper product inspections and demonstration if that's allowed. I zip tied the nylock nut to that hinge. Enjoy!

Looks Good!

 

[CruiserStuff]

Sounds great....and your price-point seems reasonable. I think you've got a winner here.....

Can you remove the door with the quick hindges while the windshield is not folded down?

 

[bikersmurf]

Does the top ot the hinge clear the windshield frame when you lift it out, or does the windshield need to be folded forward to clear?

In his first post, the third picture shows you what you want to see..

I like the idea!!!

Yes.

Sorry I missed that when I was goin through this thread.

No worries, it happens to the best of us.

That was the first question that came to my mind.

 

[yzftaco]

No worries, just pulling your leg.

Edit: Biker beat me again. LOL

... I was under the impression they were not strong enough to handle the hard doors... what do you think? .

to answer this question....I have been running hard doors with the OEM soft door hinges for 14+- years...mostly winters and rainny season...but...never had any issues...I usually would use the hard doors over the oem soft for wheeling as well.


BTW...great idea on your hinge creation
