Hopefully someone else will have spare parts,

if not you can get hinge kits from TDS.

Keep in mind that that kit is for one door. If you need to do both doors, then, you need two kits.

The bushings are shaped totally different then any other door bushing. That's why that kit is so expensive, they have to be custom built. The bushings you can pick up at a parts store only do the lower hinge.

I actually have the upper bushings from TDS, non greasable. I bought the whole kit and my uppers won't come out, they aren't removable. They are cast as part of the door hinge that is welded to the door, and no amount of grinding would make them punch out. Smashy Smashy

So I just used the lower bits and put my door back together, mostly fixed the sagging, enough to satisfy me for now. The only way to completely fix my door now would be to buy a whole new upper hinge or grab one off of a j/y car in good shape.

Anyway, that means I have the uppers you need. I'll sell and ship 'em to ya for 20 bucks. After all, I paid $75 for the kit and only got to use the lower bushing, which is a 6 dollar part. #$%^&*

PM me your address and I will give you my paypal if you want them. Assuming I can find them. Our garage is in the middle of flood repair, and it's a tad bit messy right now. Embarassed

I'll check for ya.
