Abstract
A method for positioning a pair of door hinges on a vehicle body can include the sequential steps of placing the hinges on locator pins carried by a portable fixture, advancing the fixture against the vehicle body so that multiple pegs on the fixture enter into preformed locator holes on the vehicle body, and clamping the fixture in position by automatic mechanisms responsive to entry of the pegs into the locator holes.
