I over tighted it, broke the nut off the bottom, and used a smaller bolt with a hammer. Tapping and lifting the door back and forth. Got it out quickly.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Hello devilman96, the link to your tech article about door hinge pins doesn't work anymore. I have been searching for over a hour now and cannot find it. Could you please repost it . Thanks, rustystud.You can replace them with 5/16 X 3 inch bolts but will end up back in trouble with the hinges freezing up after a while.
The above mentioned kit I carry was something I devised after being fed up with my own doors as well as many request from others to come up with a bushed design which would work for both function and future disassembly without the need of a torch and hammer.
The technical article I wrote for these is here http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?module=pagesetter&func=viewpub&tid=3&pid=52
After writing the article many complained that finding the mentioned bushings was more difficult than I anticipated and / or very over priced from what I mentored in the article so I put together the kit for the sake of obtaining everything easily.
If you are interested in purchasing the kit I do strongly recommend you FIRST READ THE TECH ARTICLE... This modification requires some level of know how with hand and power tools. It takes some "fiddling" and fitting to get just right but In the end you will have doors which open and close effortlessly with bushings that will last forever.

Well that's too bad. Does anyone else know where that tech article devilman wrote is ? Or was it deleted.Devilman does not post anymore.
He no longer runs the OD Iron website either.
That would have been a link to the old forum software, sorry, I don't know. And his site is gone.Well that's too bad. Does anyone else know where that tech article devilman wrote is ? Or was it deleted.
Nice work! Did you use a mig to weld it? If so, was it the gasless setup?Thanks, that will work out grest as I have the doors off for some rust repair.
