Door Hinge Pin Kit?

Does anyone sell Door Hinge Pin Kits? The brass bushings on my car are almost flat and the doors don't want to stay open if on a hill.

I talked to NAPA and they said they do not but if I bring one in they might be able to find something that matches.

At autozone or pepboys or advanceauto you can find displays of help! parts in the red blister packs hanging up somewhere. You can probably find something that works.

Heres a link to the catalog page of the company that makes help! parts to give you an idea.

I think you'll need to remove one or know the exact dimensions to determine how it will fit. Let us know once you've discovered what works. I'm sure others will need the info.

i looked into this about 10years ago, all the GM bushings are way different sizes.

i noticed there was a lot of wear on the hinge pin too.

i just bought new hinges, at the time they were like $30 each
