    The hinge pins removed from my '32 5W measure .280. The replacement SS pins are .274. Looking on the Ford Barn confirms that stock they are .280. Anyone aware of a source for .280 stainless hinge pins at least 2 1/16"? Regards, Ron

    I just make them out of a stainless bolt by dressing down the head. It beats having to wait for one being delivered by the mailman.
     
  3. Have done the same.

    The replacement pins are undersize. Is there a 9/32" stainless bolt?

    Turn down a 5/16 bolt and round the head.
