last one is the magic one,check the door 6 to 10 times to make sure it clears the fender do some minor hand tweaking for a good fit. then use some epoxy to finish up i would crimp a flat spot on the hinge tube to keep the door from free falling onto the body

yes, a small flat spot for mounting and to ensure the hinge stays open once the door panels have been added. im experimenting with flat hinges to make some better ones
