Zookeeper/red58: thanks guys. That clears it up. I have my hinges out and I also have new hinge pins that I ordered. Before I go to drilling I want to make sure I'm doing it right as I only get one shot it. I've saved one of the old pins to compare with the new and even mic'd them with dial indicators to see the difference.
Zookeeper: good reading on the link you gave me. I have put it in my favorites. I looked around for a while trying to find the "R" bit chart to see what "size" it is but didn't see that. I guess I just need to buy a "R" bit!
From what I read the "center" moving piece of the hinge is to be drilled with the 11/32 bit so it will pivot easy and the R bit is to drill the top and bottom hole of the hinge to hold the ends of the hinge pins....correct?
OR should the pin be stuck in the center hinge piece and pivot on the top and bottom holes? I understand whats being said....I just want to be dang sure which pivots, or turns, on the pin.
You know, idiot proof it
