shim on hinge pin

[KrisHamilton]

i took out all the screws, pins, springs ect then spot welded the hinge then slowly used a round file and filed it down.

here is a video i learned how to do this

Kris sounds like you did it the right way. I want to try that but think i will get a real wall hanger to try it out on first since I havn't welded anything since high school (long time ago)
