Bootlid Hinges
Discussion
I have just taken the bootlid off my S2 for some spraywork.
Unfortunately one of the hinge bolts had seized in the body so I had to break out the mounting, remove the seized bolt and re-glass it in.
One thing I have noticed is that the housings in the boot lid are very worn ~ 2mm play in each side - has any one come accross this before?
I thought about boring the housings out to 10mm and replacing the hinge bolts with 10mm bolts, turned so a 10 mm shank was at the top and a 8mm thread cut at the end to fit into the existing housings on the body - anyone got any ideas where I can get such a thing done or any better ideas?
All suggestions appreciated.
