OWB Loading door bolt replacement
« on: March 14, 2009, 01:58:44 PM »

Because the hinge bolts had egg shaped the holes in the loading door,I drilled out both sides of both hinges and pressed in bronze bushings.I then used shoulder bolts and nylok nuts.Now if the bushings wear all that needs to be done is to push out the worn bushings and press in new ones.
