It is probably a lot easier just to get another set of hinges- I THINK that
they are the same thru all years and I know that lots of us have spares.
Say the word and you will probably have lots of offers.

> When I took apart the hinge the pin was frozen to the center section and was
rotating on the top and bottom. This seemed wrong as the pin on the top and
bottom had small splines. As would be expected this wore away the metal pretty
quickly once I started using the car.

is there enough metal to drill out and add a bushing without ending up with a
part that is too weak.
