ABSTRACT:
An improved automotive vehicle door hinge assembly enabling the vehicle doors to be quickly removed and reassembled during the assembly line advancement of the vehicle body. The hinge body half comprises a main member and a U-shaped extension member. The main member includes a flat mounting plate portion and a channel shaped angled portion bent outwardly from the plate portion. The U-shaped extension member has a planar base portion provided with right angled side flanges defining a pair of parallel legs each terminating in a hinge knuckle. The main member angled portion is sized for snug nested reception of the U-shaped extension member. An aperture is provided in the extension member base wall aligned with an aperture in the main member channel shaped portion bight wall. Upon tightening a threaded bolt in the aligned apertures the juxtaposed surfaces of the members are adapted for mutual clamped abutment preventing both separation and relative rotation thereof.
