I do that a lot myself Bart.. as you know, there is nothing like having your hands on the actual work. I have repaired twice as many hinges as I have restored these trucks. Jim Carter has a good article on his site about this issue, or he used to. So many people buy these trucks thinking its normal to have no stops. Don't take my word for it, just look one of these hinges over for yourself. Once you see how they are constructed, its obvious. Its not a very well thought out design for sure.
