Anybody know where i can get door pins for a pug 205 gti?

Question

Being trying to find a pair of door pins (roll pins not torx screws) for ages, can't find them for less than £20 a pair. Anybody know where I can get them for a decent price?

Also if anyone is thinking about buying a 205 consider the work required! I bought mine (1990 1.6) 2 months ago for £300, so far I've changed the rear axle (a decent torsion beam is very hard to find!) which resulted in snapping both copper brake pipes, Tried to find a decent drivers seat, impossible, so had to stick a passengers seat on the mount, flushed the fuel system, changed the thermostat, given it a full service, had to change a drive shaft oil seal, had to fit a full exhaust, wouldn't run, turned out to be a broken vacuum hose running from the dizzy to the throttle body, only one radiator fan works, odo doesn't work, door lock on drivers side tempramental cus the doors dropped, door lock linkages loose, headlight glass fell off, now need to get my fuel air mix set up cus it's running lean....

But.... I LOVE IT!!!!

P.S Don't bother going to a scrap yard for parts, you tend to get laughed out of the yard!!

I currently own Peugeot 205's from 1984, 86, 90, and 93.

The driver's door is difficult to shut after 10 to 15 years due to the hinges.  The door hangs a few millimeters too low, and doesn't shut smoothly, unless SLAMMED>   But, I have noticed that the hinge pin is not the problem.

The hole in the solid metal hinge wears unevenly, until the round hole becomes an oval, allowing the door to sag.

Here in America (I'm here on vacation) you can buy these hinge pins in all diameters.  A metal, hollow cylinder with a cut, lengthwise.  Just give me the diameter and I will buy you two, then mail them to you from Ohio.???

PS.. the radiator fan from a 405? or a 306 is the same little fan.

speedometer cable wears down from a square shape, to a rounded shape just behind the speedometer, so the cable just spins around inside a square hole.  you need a new cable,

I have several glass lenses for the 205 headlights at my home in Belgium.  Were you unable to locate these in your country?
