The hinges aren't adjustable. I'd recommend
making bushings for the hinge pins and enlarging
the
hinge holes for a tight(slight press) fit
on the the
bushings. Use a drill jig to maintain
alignment on the
hinges or the door won't hang properly. The "Fisher Body
Manual" also has a procedure for replacing the hinges but
it seems to
me that it is simpler to repair your
existing ones. The other option is fitting oversize
hinge
pins. Hope this helps....John.
