Can't replace the hinges---they are welded to the doors and to the jambs, and all bodywork is finished. I spoke to a toolshop supplier this morning, and he said that a reamer in a hand drill would not be a good idea. The reamers are quite brittle, and would probably break if used this way because of misalignment issues. However----we ain't licked yet. The next amazing stunt will be to take the oversize stainless pins that I have, and turn the outer diameter down .002" at a time untill I get a snug fit in the existing hinge hole. There is a spline just under the head of the pin, that locks into the portion of the hinge that is attached to the door, so really I only need to be concerned with a nice sliding fit on the center portion of the hinge that is attached to the cowl post.---------------Brant---there is no room for a set screw in the portion of hinge which attaches to the door, and the portion attached to the cowl post is where the pin has to rotate.Old guy hot rodder
