Bug 50-67 1st Oversized Door Hinge Pin, 8.05mm

Door Hinge Pin – .05mm First Oversize (1950–1967 Beetle)

Eliminate door sag and restore smooth operation to your classic Volkswagen with this First Oversize Door Hinge Pin. Specifically designed for worn hinges, this pin is machined .05mm larger than the standard factory diameter to take up the excess "slop" that develops over decades of use. By installing an oversize pin, you can tighten up the hinge tolerances and improve door alignment without the need to replace the entire hinge assembly.

Key Features:

• First Oversize (.05mm): The ideal first step for hinges with mild wear, providing a tighter fit than a stock-diameter pin.

• Non-Threaded Design: This pin is not threaded and does not feature the mirror mounting provision, making it the standard choice for the lower door hinge.

• High-Strength Steel: Built to withstand the weight of the door and the mechanical stress of constant use.

• Restoration Essential: Vital for correcting "door drop" and ensuring the door latch aligns perfectly with the striker plate.

Specifications:

• Part Number: 111-831-421A

• Size: .05mm Oversize

• Type: Non-Threaded (Typically for Lower Hinge, or passenger side)

• Sold As: Individually

Tech Tip: Installing an oversize hinge pin typically requires reaming the hinge barrels to the correct oversize diameter to ensure the new pin fits perfectly without binding. For the upper hinge where the stock mirror mounts, you will need to use a Threaded Hinge Pin.
