The top driver's side hinge pin was badly worn on my 36 woodie and the door wouldn't shut properly. A forum member told me where to get 51 Merc hardened hing pins and long enough to mount outside mirrors. They are 5/16 which is 0.3125. Standard pins for 36 are 0.27. The way oversized pins from Vintique are 0.336 and would have ruined the hinges with a too big hole.
I bought a 5/16 line reamer on ebay and today I drilled the holes out with the reamer, they fit perfectly, and the door shuts properly nice and tight now!
