    Question TA22 Door hinge and strut top fix?

    I have two problems that I'm trying to sort out and would appreciate some input.

    Firstly, re-pinning TA22 door hinges. Has anyone got a really good solution or know of a re-pinning kit available?

    Secondly, strut top mounts. I put KMac adjustables in to replace the worn OEM's but they were really rattly - not good at all, so I have taken them out and put the old ones back in for the moment. Are there any after market/ later model mounts available that will fit?

    I'd appreciate any ideas on either of my issues,

    Thanks RodG

    I have seen TA22 after market OEM replacement strut tops on ebay from Thailand. I think someone in the classic celica thread has used them, might pay to ask there.

    T3 strut tops also fit, but I think there are issues with how they work which can be found in a thread some where here.

    t3 with a custom spacer made by roadrunner for the win....

    ...as for the door pins I had the same problem and resorted to borrowing a steel lathe and machined two pins down to suit out of brass of all things...was told they wuld make a better pin and have a smoother action by a fitter and turner and he was right...
    Rotaries are cool...so why are their owners such cocks>>?
