Re: 29 CC Pickup, loose hinge pin fix wanted.PINS are 0.243 NOT 0.250!!
I have posted this before.
For what it is worth here is a problem I had when removing pins to install mirrors.
I tried without success to remove the first pin ... it just would not budge. I did succeed in damaging the hole in hinge.
Then I bought one of the pin removal tools and the pin came right out "as slick as butter".
What I found out was that the original pins on the coupe measure 15/64ths or 0.243 and over size pins from vendors are 0.250.
I was using a 1/4 inch (0.250) drift to try and knock out the pin ... 0.017 too large, which was the reason I had so much problem with driving out the pin.
Note the pins, of 3 different lengths, that came with the pin removal tool are 0.243 not 0.250!
I never did find a drift of size 0.243!!
NOTE: As I remember certain models use different diameter pins.
