The Sprite Forum

I searched Moss, VB, Rimmer Bros and other Sprite sites, but none seem to carry a door hinge.
Ebay has no used ones listed. Where can I find new door hinges for my Bugeye?

Since not even AH Spares carries them, I would surmise they are not reproduced. You'll need to find some used ones.

Thanks, BlueMax1. Frogeye Spares has the hinges!!
I am amazed at their very large inventory of body parts.
I'll be keeping in touch with them in the future.

Hi, Happy New Year ! After reading and lots of research I'm still thinking about this problem. We have had AHealeys since the 80s and know this is a problem with left hand drive and exhaust under the drivers seat, I'm not a engineer but it would seem to me the problem should be looked at between the exhaust pipes and the bottom floor first. Then something like dynamite under the foor mats. I don't want to wrap the exhaust as I've been told this can cause too much heat damageing the exhaust system. I'm thinking a baffle arrangement open to the air and and reflecting the transfer of the heat to the floor. There are lots of opinions on this but so far I'm still looking for a simple, inexpensive solution. What type of material would work as a heat shield under the car ? I know one of our members has done something like this, I would like any thoughts on this ongoing issue. Regards, CC

Hi, I bought mine from Moss Europe. they are drilled to suit both the side screen and wind up window doors.
