I'd say that's a **** quality hinge, There was no spacer or gasket from factory.

+1
If the others aren't catching then its another quality item from our favourite supplier! :doh:
Or the top panel is bent outwards slightly?

i compared it to the old hinge and the back side of the hinge is alot bigger then the oem one, which would explain why it catches :/ all the others are landrover ones only the top one is britpart, you would have thought paddocks would send out all the same make lol Its coming together but has to be taking all apart to be painted :'( decided today to take out the windscreen and replace the cracked windscreen rubber, going to be a pain to get back in, tempted to put a heated one in

haha right o then im trying to work out how to send my landrover to the body shop to be sprayed, want a good job so if i want to move something in the future, im thinking roof and sides in one bit. then rear tub in another bit then wings and doors also front grill and windscreen surround. what you recon? dont see why id take the rear sides of the roof so wont be a problem just worries about the rubber seal and paint flaking off, or am i getting abit anal about the rebuild? lol

haha right o then
Suppose it depends, Are the roof and sides going the same colour?
Although personally I'd separate the sides and the roof and refit the seals after.

Inside and out will look better.
And yes I know what you mean there's loads of them.
When ever I'm lining panels up a bolt in each corner is about all I use
+1 for a nice job. re hinge, just tickle it off with a soft disc in grinder.

They were originally fitted to early 90 & 110s that used the antiburst latches on the driver/passenger door.
They stopped the seatbelts getting chewed by the door catch. They also prevent you ripping your trousers on the catch when you jump in quickly, but thats another story
Nice rebuild by the way, keep up the good work!

I know what you mean, prepping mine was soul destroying! It will be worth it in the long run though. Are you using a DA sander or doing it by hand?

nice rebuild. If i was to do a rebuild again I would have painted all the parts under bonnet, firewall, inside and body capping etc and then just spray the outside in one go. I have probably used twice as much paint as needed through doing it panel by panel.
However the upside to panel by panel is being able to see your making progress haha
