I am now able to supply the original Volvo hinge pins, both large (3140643) and small (3282546), for the doors.
Any quantity possible, also single items.

Well I don't need any of the hinge pins as I've 4 bags of 10 of 3140643. (Irish dealer stated only available in bags of 10 and ordered in 4 instead of 2). At around the same time, I was able to buy 12 individually from a UK dealer.
I will ask some DAF guys if they need any as the same hinge pin is used on B-bodied DAFs from 1966.
However, I would be interested in the check strap pins (3282546) and if you have/are looking to supply the plugs/"knob" that fit in the top of the pins either the flat-top type 3120620 or earlier top hat type (3101103)

Great news, I'd like to purchase some please. I need 4 for the Mk 1 and I might as well get some spares. Can wait until 2013 VOC show this summer if you are coming.

Check with Macplaxton as he holds a local UK stock for availability and paythief.
I can also supply but with me it is cash or banktransfer.
I now also carry the little caps that cover the hinge pins 3101103 / 3120620.
Can arrange them also through Macplaxton.

Everyone should change their door pins right now. It makes a massive difference and suddenly shutting the door is really satisfying. You'll find the door is able to sit further inboard too which reduces wind noise.

^^^ Especially important on 3 dr cars. The sheer weight of those doors on those poor hinge pins! Those same size pins were used on B-bodied DAFs since the 44 was introduced in 1966, which had considerably shorter/lighter doors.
