After market vrs stock door hinges

[CALbuild]

Hi all,

Im doing a frame off restoration on a 72 K5 and my question is, are the after market door hinges as reliable as the stock ones?

I would say no. I have aftermarket hinges and they are ok, but the stock ones seem better. @72gmck5 just replaced the bushings on his stock ones and that seems to have worked out pretty well. I'd probably go that route next time.
