Busy making some wind deflectors and I'm wondering where the door hinges are from. I ordered the ones off CBS but they're way to small.

The ones on the car are 50mm X 19mm

Did you not have the original door hinges ?   I simply fabricated some brackets from stainless steel and put them on the same bolts as the original door hinge so I could continue to put the doors on if required.

The bigger hinges are normally from GBS. I think you can get very similar from Gold and Wassall. They have a catalogue online.

I purchased a pair of Caterham wind deflectors from ebay at a good price.

Then purchased the hinges from Caterham part no's as below.

Hinge pin sidescreen 76226 £1.88 inc vat

Hinge sidescreen        76225 £0.68 inc vat

Note you will need 4-pins and 8-hinge parts to fit the doors or wind deflectors.

When I had my Dutton many years ago I bought some normal hinges the correct size from B&Q well it wouldn't have been them as they didn't exist, but somebody like them, ground the top of the pin off so they came apart like the ones in the images

Along with some 3mm washers to replace the metal parts of the hinges & then some 4mm countersunk bolts, washers & nylocks to fasten them to my frame

Then

2 pieces of https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282151591925?var=586287413267 to make the actual screens, but mine is not on a RH so you may have to improvise,
