Salvage yard in state has a few 170's, I believe it was 150 or 200 for the hinge set I boughtbrian.olson wrote:A couple of months ago I was on the verge of fabricating new hinge pins from a couple of stainless rods (I still had the temporary pins I made from brazing rods in the hinges, from our interior refresh a few years ago, and was getting worried about the softer brass starting to wear), but instead decided to purchase the McFarlane hinge pin set. A little expensive but they are beautifully constructed and fit precisely. Slightly difference sizes for the upper vs. lower hinges so there is zero slop. I don't regret that purchase in the least - highly recommended if you can accommodate the cost.
