As a reference point... LSD (a well known VDC manufacturer in the Sport Compact scene) says that their specs are open 30 degrees horizontally, then 40 degrees vertically: http://www.lsd-doors.de/content_e/20_Technik/funktionsweise.php

those are basicly the same as decah...etc. and mine are made to go on the inside of the fender instead of the outside (slightly tucked in...we'll see though) about an inch above the hing... and it will open 20-30°... then almost straight up and down....

I am glad to see this thread is still moving, with all those other threads like this meeting
horrible deaths.

lol sorry but i should be able to start selling by the first of the year middle of Jan. at the latest..

mainly i have to work out the $$ to get started... good news is i think i actually have my final design and it should be working tomorrow. one of the problems is my friend doesnt have a vertical mill and that is one of the things i'll have to pay someone else to do... so i'll have to have money up front, otherwise i'd be able to start right away. you'll see why i need a vertical mill when i post pics tomorrow .. just used a plasma cutter and lots of grinding for the prototype, wont make them like that and sell them though..

anyone lookin for a 3rd gen camaro?

edit: taking pics off, if you want to see them, pm me.

thanx still have a few small changes (cosmetic), and i'll be ready to start makin them, going to do the arm part 3/8" thick all one peice if i can... and then round everything and make it look nice

Having some issues figuring out which is the left /right side there? ! lol Just kidding, well its not the prettiest hinge in the world, but hey if it does the trick! Just don't make it out of fiberglass ! lol

no, URETHANE! lol... maybe

the next set will look better... if someone can find 3/8" and 1/4" sheets of titanium for me for a decent price i might consider still making them out of titanium... but i havent had any luck...

oh and i just found that board in my garage and it already said that on there...

[This message has been edited by AJ7 (edited 12-16-2005).]

thanx

Why?

quote Originally posted by F355spider: Why?

they were on my car domain.. didnt want them on there..

Just post them on here.... upload them on cardomain, but don't put them on your page, just use the [ IMG ] tags and post them here...Besides, aren't we the ones that want to see them, not the camaro guys... Especially that one "Custom" camaro, with the massive spoiler .. haha

i'll do it tonight if i have time, if not i'll do it in the morning..

its the morning. enough delays and post pics.

quote Originally posted by DOHC_SWAPPER: its the morning. enough delays and post pics.

sorry i've had family here all weekend... i'll have them up in a few min

Those are the same pics as before :P, wheres the fiero to put them on? I am curious on how they will perform... Any ideas of where your (2) shocks will mount? I just don't see a place for them on your hinge, and make it tuck in under the fender... Its harder then it looks isn't it?

EDIT - Well I gave you a + for effort. Seems like you are at least trying! If I was a jackass in my previous posts, I will take that back. Now you just need a fiero

Why does this hinge look like it just swings in one direction?

quote Originally posted by 88White3.4GT: Why does this hinge look like it just swings in one direction?

maybe because your not paying attention to the pics :P

look at them... pay attention to the board the hinge is mounted to

[This message has been edited by AJ7 (edited 12-18-2005).]

Does the hinge automaticly swing in two different directions and stop itself from moving as its not suppose to (Going up before fully up, or etc) , or does it require your effort to push it out an up... Wondering because if you have a blond girl in the car and she just lifts the door with the window up it might hit the fender, or even the roof if she pulls hard enough..

it will have adjustments...

update?

not really much of an update atm... but i should be able to start selling them next month

ok well, i guess i will be using that design for sure now, just have to find the $$$ to get all of this started.... hopefully start selling next month. thinking of just sticking with steel... only gonna be able to get a couple sets the first week i sell them but after that i'll have plenty..

anyone have an idea how much it would cost to have those slots on the hinges milled out? thanx.

My Fiero has plastic over steel frame doors.

Old cars made of wood. But they were made all the way of til some time in 2000?

oh ok i get it now....

Can someone call terminx????? I think we got some termites

I'm very interested but will wait until I hear from some people who have installed them. The shipping, VAT and import duties add to the bill and once here, I can't easily ship them back if there something wrong. You can put me on the "2nd wave" list...

quote Originally posted by AJ7: hmmm... i need to count how many ppl want them..

I also like the idea, but if the hinges you send out look like those, count me out.. lol I'd pay an extra 400 dollars for the clean looking ones !

So get back to work and make them pretty! And on a fiero damn it! muahha
