HENRY J DOORS WANTED
« on: July 05, 2012, 05:43:02 PM »
I'm looking for doors for a Henry J. Must be VERY NICE. The pair that I have will need some filler ( both were opened to far) And since the rest of the car is no rust or filler, I wanted the some for the doors. I might consider a hole car if the price is right. Thanks

I recently came across a Henry J Driver Door that had a hinge pattern that differ from the one used on my 1952 Henry J Vagabond. I think it came from an early 1951 Henry J. I traded the door to a friend for another door. It is a good door and you might be interested in it. I must state again that I am not certain that door hinge patterns changed in the 1951 production year. I just offer this a cautionary note.

Mark, the door hinge patterns definitely changed during the 1951 model year. The '51 Henry J section of the parts manual lists them as different parts but makes no mention of when the change occurred. They are:
"Hinge complete (with Center Hole 1 1/2" from butt end) 212982"
And because only one hole is moved, there are seprate ones for the left a right in the other style
"Hinge Complete, right (with Center hole 2 1/8" from butt end) 213047"
"Hinge Complete, left (with Center hole 2 1/8" from butt end) 212983"
