The pins will last longer than you will. Once and done.
Cars were made from steel and lasted if they didn't rust.
I doubt many of the "modern Cars" will be around 50 years from now, Bushings and all.
Our old cars were passed down generation to generation.
New cars are lucky to last through...
The largest poins that I have are 7/16" But they will only work on lower hinges that were not drilled off center by the factory. The laregest I normally use are .406 diameter.
Never us a bushing in the lowers. Steel pins only.

"When Chrysler built the cars, the fenders, doors, hood and trunklid were all installed while the car was a bare metal assembly, then the car was painted.
Here's how they did it:
the bare metal unibody itself was all welded together.
The roof, rocker and cowl...
If TTI told you to bend them and it still doesn't work what did they suggest as your next step ? Have you thought of taking it to a local muffler shop and have them tweek it ?
Another very happy customer.
Thank you for your business.
Leo Waiting to hear back from the machine shop that manufactures the custom hinge parts for me. Material cost went up a lot this year . I will hold these prices for now.
Bushing were only used on the uppers which only locate the door, not support the weight. If the original hinges were intended to use a soft, brass bushing the factory would have used them. Explain why you have to modify the hinge so a bushing will fit. The factory hinges lasted for 50 years or...
That is the difference between someone who does it daily verses someone who just buys parts and tries to figure it out. There is a reason that instructions don't come with these parts kits. They are not Factory, just put together by people who buy parts and then put them in a bag.
The 66 is a transitional, 1 year only hinge. It uses the 67 body side and the 65 door side hinge lower body. The spring is an "S" style with a roller. We must modify 67-up springs to fit the 65-down roller.
Lots more work but same price.
After you drill out the hole(s) to fit the bushings, and/or file the hinge to fit the bushings lip, The hinge is now too thin to repair.
These hinges were not designed to "rebuild". They were not intended to be used for 50 years. Cars were/are disposable.
We have custom made oversized steel pins...
WRONG!!!!! The hinge was not designed for any bushings.
There is no "right" way to do it with bushings.
The correct procedure is an oversized pin fitted to the hinge. The brass bushing will fail and now the hinge pivot pin hole will be too big to accept a proper steel pin. The lower hinge...
That is the grandad for factory front disc upgrading using all factory Mopar parts. No modifying or adapters.
You will never need rear disc unless you like to drive mountain roads fast, or road race. Just keep your brakes adjusted, use nothing but quality brake parts and make sure to do a...
More likely that you will need to use a later cable attaching bracket that locates the cable further back and up higher since you are using an adapter plate that raises the whole assembly. The other problem is that it is a poly engine and little is available.
The other option is getting a new...
Or you can do what Chrysler did. Put all r/h studs on it and never have a problem again. Many people have stripped/broken lug nuts/studs on L/H thread cars.
