Hi All

new to the forum from essex, I have a mini Mayfair (1984) stripped and working on re-build.. I am starting to put a few things back together and as usual with me, didn't take photo`s of dismantle :-(

I am putting the hinges back to the body, and there are three holes in the body part of the hinge... one at the rear, two at the front.. (one top, one bottom), can anyone tell me which one the hinge fits to please.

many thanks 

John

The top and bottom hinge pins have to line up vertically.  Keep trying combinations, the wrong ones don't work.

Pretty sure the hinge bolts to hole at the top closest to the apex
