Hi All

The bonnet hinges on my LC are worn and have a bit of play in them.

Just wondering if I take them off and hit the rivets with a steel mallet and chisel will this tighten them and make any difference?

Cheers 

John

Yes, but if the holes are out of round you will still have problems.

 

I have used the rare spares/Resto County hinges and they are very good.
