Added new hinges... door won't align...

I just installed new hinges for the door.  Just arrived f rye on Scamp.  The hinges are mounted, but not the bottom of the door is not aligning correctly.  The front edge of the door (toward the tongue) is about 1 inch to far forward.

Short of re drilling the door, I'm out of answers

 

Thanks 

James

Old style?

Did you compare the new parts to the old? This has come up before. The replacements were not drilled the same. Also the upper and lower hinges look different on mine. Please let us know what you find.

Yes please!

Speaking of that, I am in need of a lower hinge for my 2019 13 footer. The inner part of the lower outside hinge fell off when all three bolts came loose on my last trip. I'm in the process of ordering a new hinge from Scamp (hoping it fits), but also know that some of you may have an alternative hinge set up that might work better. Luckily, I was able to bungee and gorilla tape the door shut to drive the last two hundred miles home. Whew!
