Bonnet hinge pins
Posted: Thu Aug 27, 2020 10:18 am
Does anyone know whether you can buy replacement bonnet hinge pins and if so are they an easy change?
I ask as when the gas struts are fitted to mine, they push the bonnet ever so slightly up sitting fractionally proud of the cowling.
I bought a new set of standard strength struts to replace the heavy duty ones but the result is the same.
I am assuming the hinge has some play in it, and that the play is in the pin.
Would rather reuse my painted hinges if possible, any thoughts?
Any help appreciated as always
