Eddie Trickett Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 I used an adjustable reamer and ebay pins. Old pins came out fairly easily with butane torch .No play now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ed_h Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 I've had the pleasure of doing this twice. On the TR6: http://bullfire.net/TR6/TR6-62/TR6-62.html And on the GT6, which has the same or very similar or hinges. http://bullfire.net/GT6/GT6-40/GT6-40.html Both cars had one hinge with a broken pin, and the GT6 required bronze bushes, even with larger pins.

I tried this and it should work. The upper and lower sections are fixed to the hinge so do not wear. The centre section is what it pivots on and so will wear Drill a grease nipple hole in an accessible position when door is open - fit nipple for greasing then remove. I've done it to one door - but it is madness Roger I have done the same on all my hinges. It doesn’t take long. Rgds Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
