So, a problem part is the door pins that do wear. These can make a popping sound when the door is opened. We have machined these to be slightly larger so that they will take up some slop in the old door stay arms if you are not doing a complete rebuild. They make a very tight fit on the new arms and will not allow the pin to shift in the new arms (the old pins tend to corrode and wear over time).
So you can buy just the pins at $8 a set These just came back from plating (note the current picture shows unplated I'll update tomorrow) and we will be kitting up starting tomorrow. Best deal if you do on have these is the entire kit at $44. This will do both doors and includes the standard kit shown + 2 new pins. SO Who's interested? Attached thumbnail(s) Attached image(s) |

Received my door pins and it fixed the door popping problem I have had for many years. I thought the only way I would be able to fix it was to have the holes welded up and re-drilled to the correct dimension. The slightly larger pin fixed my problem and now my door opens and closes smoothly just like new. Thank you 914Rubber! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Kelvin Curious about this, since the issue is that over time the the door rollers don't roll anymore and instead glide across the nylon wearing it out. At same time the additional stress pulls the pin/jamb bracket over & over till one or both wear. The Jamb bracket tends to oval so the sound is often the pin moving back/forth in the bracket. How does the oversize pin fit without enlarging or correcting the shape of the brkt hole? |
