--> Europa-List message posted by: "h&jeuropa" Richard, Check out this link for an alternative to the teflon and stainless steel repair. www.n91cz.com See part way down the page under Hinge Play. Basically he found that the teflon repair failed in a short time too. So he reams the hinges to remove the burrs and replaces the pin with close tolerance welding rod. We've made the reamer and have the wire but haven't actually made the repair yet.
