The side hinges are 2 1/2" wide, while the fronts are 2 1/4",,,,,,,so you got to stretch or stuff 1/4" of gasket somewhere,,,,and that probably won't be pretty,,,,,,next time at the wrecking yard, check the newer Ford and Dodge van REAR doors,,,,if they have gaskets on them, take a razor knife and slice off the outside so you can glue them on your hinge,,,,,,you just might save yourself $9.95 plus shipping and handling,,,,,and it's really hard to pop those gaskets in the body and then try and stick a hinge through them,,,,,,glue ons are way easier,,,,,,,so cut that one in half and make yourself 2 glue ons out of it,,,,,,

These were listed for side doors. But as I walk around my van, I don't see wh it wouldn't work on any door. Looks close enough to me.

$240 for hinge gaskets? and since the fronts and sides are different , which one did you get or is it a Corvair only?
