Also put the heat to this door hatch assembly. The long arm was bent into a U shape due to I believe the vehicle having been rolled onto its side st some point. This also bent the smaller arm and popped out the pivot pin. After about an hour of work everything was back as to how it should be and the hatch opens and closes easily.

Got the vacuum power brake assembly back together today. Or item I am needing details on is the following

4.928 5269136 gasket, power brake cylinder.

I am not sure if it should be a rubber type O ring or more of the card stock gasket material.

I had to replace the hinge pin on the Otter hood. The two ends of the pin were broken off along with a few breaks inside the hinge. Lots of heat from the touch and ATF fluid and WD40. Some gentle persuasion with a 10lbs sledge and a drift slowly made progress. After about an hours work the pin pushed out in 4 pieces. A new pin will be made from 1/4” rod.

Looks like that hinge pin was due for retirement, Jordan.

Will you need to harden the new one?

No need to harden anything, just use drill rod for a hinge pin, that may not have been hardened back in the day. But being realistic, regular round stock would work well I imagine.
