[alfa] Door rebuild



I am in the process of refurbishing the doors on my 69 GTV. The door hinges are currently at a local restoration shop. They were so worn that, when open, the rear of the door could be raised 3-4 inches. The machine shop is pressing out the pins, boring out the hinges and putting in bushings to refurbish the hinges. Is anyone out there interested having the machine shop make up additional bushings while they are doing mine?
Secondly, I have purchased new rubber door gaskets. The gasket fits into a channels mounted at several positions on the body. My local body shop suggested using a silicone lube to make it easier to push the gasket lip into the channel. Are there any other tricks to inserting the gasket. This is the large gasket that totally surrounds the door opening in the body.
