does anyone know the dimensions of the hinge pins on a Nova?

Going to buy a hinge pin removal tool - ebay have a few sealey ones but I need to know the dimensions of the pins...

I managed to remove my drivers door on last rebuild (and bought longer pins to make removal easier) but the pasenger one was a biatch and wouldnt come off - no matter how much lube I used!!!

wrap the handle with a cloth when you use it, the small rubber handle does nothing for the shock you get when you hit the bar with a hammer

Don't forget a cut down bonnet stay is the perfect size and may well save you a few quid.

Also if you need some more pins ade I've got loads I can bung in the post FOC.

Cut down vaux jack handles work a treat at the scrappy too lol
