Threaded Plate in the Door.

Is it possible to buy the threaded Plate in the Door? It's the Plate with 3 threaded holes that mounts the Door to the Door Hinge. I pulled my doors twice and I noticed at least one bad thread. I am thinking of cutting the Plate out and change it. I would appreciate suggestions. Thanks!

Unfortunately no Dents in our Junkyards over here!!! I could have one made or restore the threads as you suggested but would prefer one in hand. I am also interested to see the size of the Plate. Then it's easier to know exactly where to cut the door. I am not sure where to cut the Door because it's a "box" inside the Door that holds the threaded Plate.

Take off door panel. Look inside. Bend back tabs. Remove plate. Weld up and re-drill hole. Tap for 5/16-18. Insert and hammer back tabs.

Bottom plate:

Top plate:


Can't see a reason to cut the door open when there is plenty of room.

It looks like there is enough meat there to drill and install a helicoil. The helicoil threads would be much stronger then original.

Perfect! I didn't know and didn't look inside. I thought the Plate was trapped inside a welded box. Thanks a lot!

He is in Gressvic Norway and at least sort of a neighbor. I have sent him a few boxes of parts for his green 73.
