<DIV>With many years of sheet metal and stamping experience my opinion is that
it is an incorrect stamping proceedure. Might have slipped on the
die. I have seen sheet metal double stamped before or irregular.
Relatively certain that it was a goof that happened to be installed on your
Monza. No difference in application. GM goof. </DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=187220003-06032007><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>The pictures
detail what I have found regarding the engine lid hinges on my '</FONT><FONT face=Arial>65 Monza convertible. These are about 1/2 inch wider at the deck
lid mounting area than other hinges which I have seen, which are about 1 inch
wide. I set a quarter in each example as a size reference. The other detail I
have found are that the narrow hinge has three horizontal stamped lines in the
middle of the 180 degree bend. The wider hinge has three horizontal stamped
lines, but with a circle in the middle of two of the lines. </FONT><FONT face=Arial>I looked at my 65 Corsa coupe and it has the narrow hinges. Both my
'vert and the Corsa are LOS built cars. The Corsa production is in the late
8,000 with the body number around 1,095. The 'vert production is in the early
9,000 with a body number of 555.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=187220003-06032007><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>The parts
books only show one part number (even the '65 and '66 Canadian books). Has
anyone seen these two types of hinges before? Does anyone know what difference
there is in application, if any? Or is just a supplier
variation?</FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
