Title: MCI part # needed for the battery door rubber hinge.
Post by: bigtim44 on September 13, 2012, 03:59:34 PM
If anybody has a part number for the rubber hinge on the battery door that would be great.The one on mine has just split completely.
My bus is a 1986 MCI 102A3 if someone is looking it up on a microfiche.
Also a good source for MCI parts that actually stocks parts!
Thanks in advance

Tim -

Call Luke @ US Coach @ 1-888-262-2434, M-F between 9-5 Eastern.  Strong supporter of our little community, fair pricing, ships same day when you use plastic money.  Support those who support us!

After Luke, try MCI Service Parts, they'll usually ship from the nearest warehouse.

Highly suggest you try to find a parts book and shop manual for your coach, well worth the investment.

FWIW & HTH. . .

Is the hinge on the 102 different than the hinge on the earlier models?  My 5a has the same rubber hinge for everything.  It comes in long strips and you cut it to size.

Many people replace that hinge with a section of stainless steel piano hinge, riveted in place.  Saves the losing the door paranoia...

Of course, one could buy the stainless ones the Ed G. sells for $10. each.  They are very sturdy.  There is another guy of whom I do not have the info, that sells fiber re enforced hinges.  I have some stainless piano hinges, courtesy of Singing Land Cruiser.  I plan to cut them to the right sizes and run a 1/4 inch weld bead down the edges.  That would make them a slip in replacement for the rubber ones.  They are by no means as strong as Ed's, but I think that four six inch ones would do fine on a bay door
