    Replacement Door Hinges Empty Replacement Door Hinges

    Post by dave36 Mon 16 Apr 2012, 9:19 am

    New Season is upon us, Dandy was pulled out today and all the pvc was washed off with TFR. Hinges remain a problem, as the trailer is over 30 years old I think the way to go may be to replace all of them, but what with?
    please share your solutions, I have bodged them for the mo, but closing the door is a bit of a knack and the kids are not up to it - the aluminium surround fouls the frame.
    Oh - clumsy me crashed the trailer, moving it by hand! need a fog light replacement, is there a direct replacement for the glass?

    Dave i think you may have to ring Ian at riva about the hinges i have searched the web for them in the past but never found them,as you say a full set may be the way to go as these things change over the years,i ordered some air vent covers from Ian for my 6 and they are a slightly different size,i rang him and he apologized but said that was the size his supplier used now so i guess mine are not made any more.
    Have you checked if the aluminum frame needs tapping back into place they do sometimes,the fog light on my delta was a separate light just a cheapo job.

    How much do Riva charge p&p?

    Would this site be more competative?

    Always found Ian competitive on postage and of course always a source of free advice

    got mine within a few days of talking to Ian, very useful bloke to contact, full of info!
    they were exactly right and I am very happy, dont know about p&p but the ones he had were old stock and £5 the pair.
    My bottom door also has one hinge, lord knows why!
