Default Yup the pins do wear

Good point Brian, and there is a simple easy solution, Chevy didn't change its pins or the T head bushing I've found them at the local auto parts store. If some body knows the year cross over that would help. But I just took an old pin and one of the bushings and had no problems.

I'll have to check all the hinges on my HUP to see if after 30 years they need to be replaced again, if they do I'll post the parts number once I find it.


Cheers Phil
