Any ideas about where to get one of these? saw one on E-Bay but they want $160, does anyone have one of these I could purchase or know of an alternative method to adjust doors without front fender removal?

Have you considered buying a couple of cheap box end wrenches and welding up your own?

 Hey Carl. Sorry to hear youve had a bout with Covid. Any idea how/where you were exposed? We are in Haarlem Netherlands and passed our pre cruise Covid test today. We pretty much avoided family and people for 2 1/2 weeks prior to flying over here for fear we may catch it. Wishing you and yours a full recovery from this nasty bug! We both had our 4th shots a month ago.

I've never seen these door hinge wrenches, but the look to be a handy tool.

 Almost impossible to make anything else work, they sure have their place.
