Hi Guys

You know you taught me something that I did not know. The hinges are apparently cast steel not cast iron as I assumed all of these years. I had always assumed they were cast iron because of rough texture. Never had even thought of reworking them by welding them.

Yes, I know you can weld cast iron, but not with the apparent easy of your photos.

So I learned my one new thing for the day and now I can stop thinking for the rest of the day.

Cheers Phil
