Group Buy: lambo doors

[blakscorpion21]

dont see why ud need 750 lb ones. doors dont weigh that much. im sure that theres plenty of people who can make them with just as good quality.

I work at a machine shop and it wouldnt be that hard to reproduce those hinges as long as i had all the specs and dimensions. They could be made to fit all generations if i had the car specs also. I'll see about it at work tonight to see if I can use the bridgeport if u guys are serious. I want a set for my fourth gen and have been searching the web for a few pics and dimensions so i can make my own.

damn we just whored this guys thread bad.

as well as whoring the thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours that harry and his team put into making thoes kits

The struts have to be able to hold up alot of weight because they don't have good leverage on the door so that they will be out of the way of people using the door. The closer they are attached toward the hinge pivot, the more force they have to use to hold up the door.

They have to be matched to the strut mount point as well as the weight of the door.

You can make them cheap, fast or sharp looking/well engineered. But you can only get two of the three, not all three.

thank you for backing me up there... much research has been put into the correct lifting power of the strut and 750 is what is needed

[Brian R.]

They also look well-designed and thought-out. You better have something well designed unless you want the strut or hinge to fail and the door fall on your leg. Those things are dangerous if poorly done.

the problem is they do not make them for everyone that wants them, only the year models they choose, its just like everything else, you go past a certain year, and they quit making aftermarket parts for cars, I cannot find body kits for mine, because its an 87, I can't find much of anything performance wise for an 87 because no one makes it, if you want it, you have to have it custom made, hence why we want to make the hinges, thats my reason atleast, and a machinest could easily make exact, and I do mean exact duplicates of the high dollar kits, the only thing he can't copy is the lift rod, but there are those of us that want the kit, like me, I would like it but they don't make it for mine, sorry if we are whoring your thread, but its the truth

[Brian R.]

I think your statements belong in a thread of their own. They have nothing to do with his getting people together for a high-quality hinge kit. His kit will not work on your car, so don't bother. There are too many differences in geometry.

[jwaj2002]

I'm just trying to correct what the thread had turned into, it is a great deal though, and maybe he could get enough people together to get the price down even lower, I hope he does, and I hope everything works out

[daklieb]

there is a kit for the 5th and 6th gens and harry said he would be willing to make a kit for the 4th gens all he needs are 5 fourth gens and a donor car in FL, who will get this kit for $500...

[jwaj2002]

he can borrow mine, but he will have to come get it, its in arkansas though, mine lets just say may not see the road for several years anyway

WHOA, I didn't mean for these pics to start a RIOT. Harry and his guys did an excellent job on this kit. They took a lot of time to put it together and I cannot stand for a bunch of people tryin to rip off his stuff. So no one even bother asking me for dimensions or anything. The pics are gone now too cuz I don't want you to do this and screw him over. I have dealt with him a lot and trust me he is honest about the cost of the kits. The labor alone to manufacture them was worth more than this. I don't mean to continue whoring this thread, i am just lettin you know the TIECC kit is awesome and no one should try and rip them off.

[daklieb]

amen to that

[daklieb]

anyone interested in this kit?
