Hinge pin slop

I'm at the point of trial fitting the doors for alignment and gaps etc. The upper hinges are quite worn, to the point that the pin slips in and out by hand and has some play. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? All I can think of is to add some blobs of weld to the pin and grind it back to give an interference fit.

Oversize pins are available for exactly your situation. You may need to ream the hole to ensure it's round again and the correct size for the new pins.
