When I took everything off for painting, I carefully marked the hinges for reassembly. Then when I painted them I mixed them all up. Now I don't know which hinge goes where.

Can anyone refer me to a good diagram that shows which hinge goes where? (I note that most of them are stamped with a number on the back -- between 1 and 11-- so if there is a diagram using those numbers that would also help). Thanks.

Which style hinge? Early or S3/Defender style?

Here's apicture from Geroges site:

The one with the large hole goes on the door, top hinge, the other is the lower which will be the same as the lower on the rear door. The top one for the rear door is just like the top for the front, minus the hole for the mirror.

This from my query to the Series II club.

You should have four 'short' hinges and four 'long' hinges. The short hinges go on the bottom with
the section going onto the frame/pillar having the 'cup' facing up, the same goes for the long ones
at the top, that way when you put the ball/bearing in you can easily lower the door into position
with the hinge bolts in position.
