'69 2 door, passenger side door.

Not determined if hinge is problem or not, but if it is determined I DO have have too much slop on door, is there any opinion on quality of "pin replacement kits" carried by most of the vendors?

I could have sworn a while back most posts indicated pin replacement wasn't worth the effort, but from what I see on my search, most posts state it isn't that hard, and the slop does go away. Any thoughts on replacement kits and how much should be replaced? (pins/bushings definitely. detent? Other?)

Just did the ones on my 67 it was easy as pie. New pins and bushings. I did have to drill the hinges for the replacement bushings but it was no problem. Ralph

Where do you get a "pin/detent kit" for a 68?
