BJ8 door hinges

[barnman]

Good morning chaps.
My door hinges have been trashed! by a paint stripping company when they baked them with the steel doors!!
Has anyone got any pics of BJ8 hinges.
Are the top and bottom hinges the same?
Some pics show some hinges are cut away...shaped.
My impression was that the hinges were oblong on both sides...is this correct.
Trying to source some replacements!!??
Not happy but move on! Any help appreciated as usual.
Regards Al

The bottom hinge is the same as the hinges on the earlier 6-cyl cars. The top hinge is different. There are some photos here: https://mossmotors.com/austin-healey-100-100-6-3000/doors/doors-fittings-bj7-bj8

Ahead 4 Healeys here in the UK show a used upper hinge of a different shape to the Moss catalogue.

Hans, thanks for those pics. As I thought and your pics show the hinges really well.

BJ8 Phase 1 hinges had "fingers". Phase 2 hinges (both upper and lower) were rectangular, without "fingers". I've seen a few Phase 2 BJ8s recently that had the Phase 1 hinges and thought the doors had been replaced. But then I found that AHead4Healeys only shows the Phase 1 hinges in their catalog. Maybe that style is all that is available new now.

Hi Steve, thanks for reply.
I have so far managed to source 2 square hinges...one of them from Ahead 4 Healeys...it was their last one!
Still casting my net for 2 lowers!
