<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Well
yesterday was one of those days, a bonus day in the fall where I actually have
time I didn’t expect to do things on the car, with a non-existent spring <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>This
year the door hinge on the square never got done, and its been irritating me
for years. Ive read the thread on the Samba about cutting it and
welding and other<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Forms
of divine intervention needed to get them out but If I could figure a way to
harvest one from an old door maybe Id tackle it, or see where I got in prep for
another attempt in the spring, which of course, is looking cold and wet again
next year too.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The
key is the air chisel, with a round bit, but pounding that bit on an extending
punch is no good, too much lost in that combination, but then the light bulb
went off and it was an LED… nice and bright, what If I WELD that punch on
the end of the chisel bit with a slight angle to get up into the hinge?
WALLA! Came right out! Well… with a little difficulty.
The one on the car came right out too, didn’t even have to remove the door,
just support it and now its closing properly for the first time in many
years… or nearly so, now that the bottom hinge is tight I can feel some
slop in the top hinge, but not nearly as bad.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Sunday looks like a nice warm Sunny day….<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>That,
and the day also included shoving a caster shim under the right end of the beam
(Plenty of wiggle room just un-doing the right clamp) to get a ¼ shim in there
so NOW let’s see where the caster angle is on that side…. And
front brakes after 65Kmi on those pads, Jim’s NOS ones fit perfectly, no
grinding or fitting, adjusted the rear and now I can spend the winter not
thinking about all I have to do in the spring, especially when spring never
arrives which has been the rule since 2012 here in NY. Can I get some Global
Warming please? Or do the folks buried under the Blizzard in the upper
mid-west get first dibs?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
