Abstract: An automotive hinge assembly (30) comprises a) a door component (40) constructed from first and second press formed door angle brackets (46, 47), the first and second press formed door angle brackets (46, 47) being separate and spaced apart such that the first and second press formed door angle brackets (46, 47) do not touch each other when assembled, and wherein the first and second press formed door angle brackets (46, 47) are adapted to be mounted to a vehicular closure panel (27); b) a body component (60) constructed from first and second separate press formed body angle brackets (66, 67), the body component (60) including a pivot axis aperture (63) configured to accept a pivot bushing (80) and the body component (60) is adapted to be mounted to a vehicular body structure (28); c) a pivot pin (90, 100, 110) configured to structurally connect the first and second press formed door angle brackets (46, 47) while holding the door component (40) and the body component (60) in structural assembly and facilitating rotary motion between the door component (40) and the body component (60), the pivot pin (90, 100) being the only structural connection between the first and second press formed door angle brackets; wherein the pivot pin (90, 100) comprises a central cylindrical pivot surface (91,101) with a central diameter adapted to allow rotation of the pivot bushing (80) thereabout; a first end and a second end; wherein the central cylindrical pivot surface (91, 101) is positioned between the first and second ends and the first and second ends are adapted to structurally connect the first and second door angle brackets respectively.
