Good deal! A hammer and punch is all that's needed. (unless someone previously welded it or something)
I'll still make up a few spares to pass around.

I removed the pin that is in the picture I posted. It was from the other door and in great shape. I sprayed Liquid wrench lubricating oil on the hinge assembly and pin before trying to remove it. I took a punch and drove the old pin out from the bottom of the hinge assembly. I reinstalled the the pin from the top. It just needed a light tap on the top of the pin to drive it down in the hinge assembly.

Thanks. I have tried that, with no success.

I did try heat. I also tried a hinge puller. No luck.

My first Patrol back in the rust belt (Cleveland) I ended up drilling one hinge on each side out. :angry-banghead:

Mild Bill,
If you're still taking orders, I'd love to have two sets of these these in my stash when it comes time to do a complete overhaul my 73. Will send you a PM. Don.

Made 9, mailed 8 pins, Production is now shut down.
I've asked Justin to post dimensional pictures, so anybody
else can have them made.
