Swapping hinges would be a huge project as they are welded to the cowl and you would have to remove the fenders and probably the dash to be able to bolt a hinge on for test fit even if you wanted to weld them on after. I have had better luck with the bushings that are knurled around the outside rather than the smooth ones. I think they are more bronze and less brass in the makeup and last a little longer. When you get good at you will be able to change them in half an hour.
