On my 67 Etype 2+2 the doors are drooping. Is there a bushing kit for the hinge pins? Or is there a better fix?

I've checked online sources and couldn't locate a rebuild kit, so Ottawa Jaguar Club (thanks for the lead, David) could you give up the specifics on the replacement pin "from some source"? Otherwise, I can replace the whole hinge at 2 per door times 2 doors at >$300 (prices have gone up) each equals WAAAAH! Any mechanically-minded entrepreneurs out there? Glynn and I are waiting to be your first customers.

My XKE has exactly the same issue on the driver's door. Passenger side is fine. It's also a '67 and a 2+2, so I'm equally interested to learn the answer to this question.

Earl, I have a '67 2+2,where the driver's door was sagging badly. At the time(12 years ago) I could not find a replacement pin kit and didn't know how to improvise and so bought a new hinge assembly from Peninsula Auto in Oakville,Ontario at a price of $250 Can.. This worked well except that the manufacturer had neglected to install a stop on the frame side of the hinge to prevent the door from contacting and denting the front fender. I had an local aluminum welder add a blob at the apprpriate spot and grind it to look like the original. After painting it looked original. I nunderstand from local (Ottawa Jaguar Club) members that you can rebuild the hinge with a replacement pin from some source.
