Before you get too far into this, you should make sure that the movement you see is not just due to flexing of the parts because the hinge is nearly frozen tight. Oil the hinge with some light penetrating oil first; then when it has freed up, re-oil it periodically with heavier oil. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
