This is the door hinge parts that came with my CRP kit.

This is the door hinge - it is very solid and makes for a very wide opening door. The hinge itself is a very nice piece of machine work. The only improvement I would want would be a grease nipple.

This is a shot of Passenger door in the raised position. I spent some time reinforcing the hinge and the part under the mirror, tying it into the area on the opposite side of the hinge mount.

Even with the outer door off the door has become quite solid. The other door skin will make this very solid. I discovered that grade 5 minimums are required to bolt the hinge as there is a huge amount of torque on the hinge area. The door also opens at least to the OEM point and then can be adjusted to open several more inches.

Chocolate Icing

Okay it is not chocolate icing. This is the hinge and door support. Starting with the first arrow on the left: 1) Notice the hinge, it has a big elbow in it which allows for a very wide swing on the door. The hinge uses 1/2" steel and 5/8" steel - very solid 2)This is a 3/8" plate that I drilled out, welded on nuts and then glassed into the door. 3)This is a 3/8" plate that connects the hinge plate to the stiffener plate. 4) Behind all this goo is a oddly shaped 1/4" steel plate, it fills almost all the area behind the mirror, I drilled a series of small holes to ensure good bonding then glassed it onto the door and welded the pieces together - fiberglass does burn - I had to work fast. So this is kinda ugly but it is really really solid that was the goal.

This is my solution to wiring the doors. I drilled a 1 inch hole into the door shell and the hinge. This way the wire loom does not get in the way of anything. For the hole in the hinge I used a 1 inch bi-metal hole saw. The IFG hinge was reinforced by welding along the sides of the 2 ajoining plates that make up the hinge.
