I have a 1972 1.7 that I’m restoring. One of the areas that I can’t find any information on is how the door hinges were originally finished. Mine have been sprayed over several times and when I repaint I want it to look right.
Were the hinges painted to the same color of the car? What about the bolts and pins. We’re they painted or zinc/cadmium plated. I ran my bolts through my ultrasonic cleaner and it appears they are black underneath the layers of paint. Does anyone have an original picture of how it was finished from the factory? |

had a good look in 912 section of BAT.
managed to find a couple of cars that looked in the main unrestored with original paint on inners. bit hard to find as most 912s have been restored, in some cases several times over. looks reasonably certain that karmann were painting hinge pins in the 60s when doing these porsche bodies. this one looks at first glance to be unpainted hinge pin, but close look you can see paint on edge of pin top. |
