<DIV>This is a picture of a hinge on B.# 1267, a very original 5000 mile car and
the bolts are in place however, upon close inspection I notice that they are
marked WILEY B which means that they were BSF, not UNF as I had thought.</DIV>

<DIV>I never noticed the holes were threaded. I just used them to position the
threaded plate while attempting to start the hinge screws. Maybe they were
used for that and the extra screw removed after the hinge was in place.</DIV>

[Healeys] Door Hinge center bolt</FONT>
<DIV> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>The earliest 100s have "flat" hinges. In addition to the 4 countersink
screws securing the hinges to the door post there is a single hex head 5/16"
UNF screw in the center of the hinge plate.
<DIV>These screws can cause problems after they are installed because they can
prevent the hinges from closing completely and can cause distortion of the
hinge mount(s).</DIV>
<DIV>I'm completely at a loss to understand a purpose for these screws ...
does anyone have any idea why they are there?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
