What is the idea with the hinges on my 89 voyager?
They look like they are "2 hinges in 1" kinda, with a little bolt disabling 1 of them.
It looks like I could take out that bolt, and I could have the hinge "flipped over" and have the gate sitting an inch or two away from the car???

Maybe they made them that way just for fun??

I think its like that for realining purposes. I know exactly what you mean, having had a handful of those vans. I never did take one apart though. If I brave the wasps nest in my Voyager trailer, I can get a pic. Ken.

I will try to get a pic one of the days, I am pretty busy, as I am moving.

It is no biggie, but I just think it is an unusual setup.

I now have pics in my camera, so once I upload them, and reduce size, I will post them.

That's interesting! Wonder if it was a hinge from another vehicle that they used on the caravan. wonder why they would double pivot it?
