Repairing sagging door hinges RA23
Hi everyone.
I have two sets of doors for my RA23 of which I am planning on picking the best pair. I was hoping that at least one of each would have half-decent hinges but 30 years of swinging has taken it's toll on them. From what I can tell, the pin and shaft wears or bends. Has anyone successfully repaired the pin/shaft - bored and re-pinned? Where would you find pins to suit? It might be anal, but if I can't get my doors to close nicely I'll be devo after spending 20K+ on this thing!
Any help appreciated!
Cheers,
-Paul.
