I'm trying to put new mirrors on my '66' Bug. But the hinge pins I got were too small! What size do I need to get?
Thanks for any input!
What size???

Hi Kelly, I am not a hinge pin expert but here is a link to the hinge pin at Wolfsburg west:

That being said, you may want to talk to them directly as I noticed that they carry ovesized hinge pins too. In reading through some of the discriptions it reminded me of moving up in sizes of pistons on my motorcycles when the engine needed to be bored slightly larger. I have no idea why that would be needed on a door hinge pin (Maybe wear?!!!). So it might be good to talk to them on the phone and tell them what pin you have and size and they can recommend a next step. Unfortunatly their discription does not include the size.
Others in the forum may have better suggestions.....
