I only have 16 inch so I guess a swap is out of the question. Is there a sale price? If so what size, make and condition are the tyres in? Alloys in good condition?
Thanks
Kaz

Greetings
Wrapped the fuel tank hoses with insulating pipe foam that plumbers use. This creates a waterproof barrier which will hopefully protect the evidently poor quality rubber from the elements a ...

They can be drilled out.
I lubricate these pins regularly and have heard some who do so get many years out of them.
This remains to be seen.

Sorry but I don't think I've done anything wrong in posting this.

I have not revealed anything new here. These hinges are commonly being used but still have flaws.
Many have mentioned araldite or ...

Denso tape- never heard of it so googled it.
This stuff could work with a few loose cable ties to keep in place till it bonds and drys.
Is it safe to be applied on rubber hoses?

After some research they are M8 bolts. These take a 6mm hex bit which is easily available.
