(The hinge > cover means that until it fails its a case of out of sight out of mind.) Yeah. One of the hinges in my 68 started to fail when it was only about 5 years old.

In this case it was mostly the pin which was failing and I was able to save the hinge by just replacing the pin. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
