door hinges

i have 2 different lower hinges on my 72 charger.. the right side has a spring with a cam type lever and roller pin and the left side has a "s" hook type spring and a bar with  what looks like 2 cam wheels on the top which is correct? does it matter which type i use?

both works. We have had some debates about which one is the correct one. IMHO for a 72 the roller pin and pushing spring is more correct, for a while S spring is more 73 and laters. I have had doubts because 2nd gens use the S spring too I think.

71s down here in Venezuela does have the pushing spring and pin roller. Mine ( 74 ) and a buddy's 73 does have the S spring kind

Yeah in 72, he's right.

[Nacho-RT74]

yeah I think 71/72s are the inner spring and 73/74 are S spring back

My 73 built in March had inner spring, parts car from june 73 had inner too...  I guess it just depended on supply...

[Nacho-RT74]

well, maybe is just about stock on assembly plant

[doctorpimp]

Yeah, that's what I think too...
Mind you, they could have been replaced at the dealer etc too at anytime during the car's life...

definitelly not mines... the car was still on original conditions when I got. Rusted and dented everywhere, but no parts replaced. I was the first on make anykind of job on it

one note... mine was assemblied in Venezuela, not in USA
