Texas Todd 1,025 #1 Posted August 21, 2016 The 1056 I restored had an awful hood wobble. It came from the hinge pin pivot point in the front. The nylon was long gone and the hole on the hood was wallered out. When I checked the part for the nylon replacement they were 11 bucks a piece, and still nylon. I thought that could be improved upon. Went to Lowe's and got the brass bushing pictured. Had to drill the frame and hood for 1/2" and waller that a tad. Insert pin and secure with pins and presto, hood is solid as it can be. For about 7 bucks and 20 minutes work, if that. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 40,913 #4 Posted August 22, 2016 Since my Lowes has only empty drawers where these bushings are located I had some oversize spacers welded on to the hinge and installed a long pin with a retainer clip. Makes the hood on and off much easier. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
