I didn't see a mention in Spruce; is it just tougher steel than 4130 or is it tubing with a pre-drilled bushing? - Mike -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Mike, Look under 'Bushing Stock.' 'Hinge Stock' is another name for plain, old-fashioned SAE 1020 mild steel tubing, usually having a sixteenth-inch wall. You may install bushings in the finished hinge if you wish but other means of distributing the wear are to provide additional hinge points or to use a hinge-pin (bolt; whatever) of larger diameter. If kept greased and cleaned periodically, with the pins replaced when prudent, even operating off a dirt strip it will be twenty years or more before you can detect any wear in the barrel of the hinge itself. -R.S.Hoover |
