Before you open the link, take a guess what a door hinge pin is worth now. http://www.ricambiamerica.com/product_info.php?products_id=235113
Wow, mind you it is for a 512TR. The 308 pins you can pick up for around $20. Do you have one of these cars?? Are you after some pins or is this just trivia? Have some contacts thats all they may help.
Jeez Superformance has a replacement for a mere £7.90 + vat http://www.superformance.co.uk/a-mondial/fittings.htm http://www.superformance.co.uk/a-308/body.htm
The link he had was for a 512TR or F512M????? (this is a 308 section) I just bought a few bits from superformance.
I searched for the 328 pin, and it was superseded to the reference pin. This pin fits pretty much everything. In other words, the 308 pins are $347
I believe we've just found a way for Mark E to finance his V12 project.... Produce and sell door hinge pins!!!
Oh Ok, Well I would go to superformance then Fred2. As I mantioned about $20 for you guys delievered. Somones already given the link above. Good luck mate.
T Rutlands also has them for mere change. I believe somewhere around $20 + or- each. They have the grease nipple on end. I too was panicked when I needed to find 4- luckily T Rutlands had them for change... Needless to say it was like buy them fast before they realize OEM's are $300+ EACH! I am tolerant of Ferrari rip-off pricing the majority of the time, however explain to me like I am a child why these are $300+ each? that is just obscene & lack of repect for us vintage owners...

When I found a broken hinge pin on my '82, I simply had a new one machined. Not too expensive (South Africa) and at least the cause of the breakage could be eliminated: the factory pins were very badly designed. The grease-cavity exits the shank exactly where the hinge-halves meet. That's the weakest point of the design exactly where the biggest load occurs. Oh dear...
Do you have a link to them on T Rutlands? I searched there for a while, and could not figure out where they would be categorized.
Call them- 800-638-1444 ask for John. (Anyone can help- John has just been the most help & seems like a overall nice helpful guy with odd parts requests..) T Rutlands part number is 40120404 (Door Hinge Pin, 308-328) List price is $24.95 each I am normally a Ricambi Parts customer, just they do not have access to these evidently- Chris
