Default Hinge Repair/Replacement

Hi

There was also a good discussion of the hinge issue back last spring in the 2011 at Hammond Barn when the guys were working on fabricating non-existent hinges http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=15944 then do a search this thread on the word "hinge" shows some useful information.

The other bane of Pattern 13 door hinges is they get bent, because they don't have hold back straps. The Boys at the Hammon Barn CMP Overhaul Center (HBCMPOC) have tried straightening hinges to reset them to the proper angle.

My approach has been to use wedge shims to adjust for the bending.

Cheers Phil
