Hinge Pin
I've tried that, I ordered the oversize pins knowing that I would have to ream the hinges to accept them. However, what I received I would not consider to be hinge pins. They are clevis pins, that are longer than required (I could cut them to length, that is not the issue), the concern I have is they do not have the knurl at the head of the pin. The knurl holds the pin in place and prevents the pins from rotating when opening and closing the door. What I want to do is put a brass sleeve in the hinge half that bolts to the door and then ream this to accept a stock pin that would have a knurl. I guess I don't consider what Mid-Fifty supplies as a hinge pin. Without the knurl I don't see what what would prevent the pin from working out and/or rotating in the half of the hinge that it should not rotate in.
Thanks

Hi there guys, on the subject of hinges, do you know if anyone has a picture gallery of a rebuild. I'm not exactly sure of what part of the hinge the bushing goes on. I was told by a guy at the parts counter at a Ford dealer that they went on the part that bolts to the door but there doesn't seem to be much metal there. Taking these beasts apart are a real chore as well, if I ever get them apart. Pictures sure would help. Thanks again
