Are the 4 door hinges on a roadster Mk1 all the same with regard to the position of the 3 door attachment holes and their relative distance out from the door post?
My PO had butchered the hinges on the left side and I rebuilt the holes, but one of them has the holes about 5mm closer to the pivot than the other one.
Are they interchangeable top to bottom?
I'm have some door/guard alignment issues that I'll document in a separate post and my journal.

I believe all of the hinges were intended to be interchangeable. They better be, I just had them in a bag and reinstalled them randomly.

Thanks for quick replies.
I was able to swap top to bottom to get the door in a better position. Hopefully, now the guard will come up closer and fit a bit better than it did when I took it off.
I'm about to go and fix the guard permanently, so I'll tell/show you how it goes later tonight.
3pm here now.

9pm here and I'm done for the day.
I got a result with the doors and guards that I can live with and I attached the front skirt.
It's starting to look more and more like a MGB again and although I'm finding that my assembly sequence is such that I'm often taking things off again to put something on, it's a matter of one step backwards and two steps forward.
