Re: [VAL] Door Hinge Question

["Tom" <tmeeker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alex,

The wear will occur first with the softer material.  If the casting is
aluminum and the hinge pin is steel ....  Or vice versa but I don't think
the pins would be made out of aluminum.  To get things back to normal you
may have to shim the hinge casting I would think - something on the order of
putting in a bushing that is as hard as the hinge pin itself.  And if all
else fails it is possible today to have almost anything made by a machine
shop by taking a billet of aluminum and cutting it to shape with a CNC
machine.

Let us know how you get this problem solved.
