I have new pins. The upper hinge is painted & repaired! Man it is hard to open & close but being mounted it should be fine.
The bottom (with the bolt in it) was no problem removing it but the hinge hole itself was pretty enlarged so it wobbled.
Problem I’m having is trying to drill the pin hole larger to an 11/32 inch. I’m using my drill press and I’ve burned up 2 new bits. I’m using oil & not applying a lot of steady pressure, I just don’t see metal chips coming out. It just gets hot.
I’ll have to wait until Monday for a real hardware store to open. Lowes has none & Home Depot had the two I bout.
I’m I doing something wrong here?
