brathen51 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 My door sags on my 1949 B-1-B. The hinge is worn approx .025. I was thinking of using a metal filler to build it back up and then reaming it out to the correct dia. Any suggestions if this would work? Quote
Bradley S. Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 Use the search thread function and search for "door sag". We just completed a thread talking about this. Brad Quote

I was thinking of using a metal filler to build it back up and then reaming it out to the correct dia. Any suggestions if this would work? i have the same issue with the pass side hinge being oval. would the filler work or replace the hinge? i don't see a thread on the replacement of the hinge, just addressing the pins(probably more basic than i am making it) (my replacement hinge) looking for a close to original look, any thought on rivets (location possibly hard to maneuver) vs. something like "sex-bolts" or grinding down a carriage bolt, etc?
