Engine Lid Hinge

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by Owen Snell, Jan 9, 2012.

  1. What's the best thing to do with worn engine lid hinges? Replace complete or fit new pins? Is it the pins that wear or the material in the hinges?
     
  2. mines had a cotter pin through one since i bought it, i'd like to repair this but think the hinge would be difficult to budge so a roll pin of the correct dia. would probably be the repair to do
     
  3. i replaced the pins with 2x 6 inch nails (trimmed to fit)

    looks stock
     
  4. I'm almost sure I got a handful of roll pins to do this myself but just never did, I'll check when I go in the garage & if I have you can have a couple
     
  5. i fitted new larger pins and trued/reamed the holes .. stainless pins with just a knurl on the end to hold it in .roll pins won`t quite work
