a ' cracked ' door 200 1989

notice the hinge in this pix.

My 87, which I got in 97, had a hinge with a broken U spring...due to failue to lube those 2 rollers. The rollers didn't roll and that U spring cracked in half and I lost the business part that met with the rollers and damped the door swing.

The result was the door swinging free and wide pulling on the hinge attachment on the thin door metal and causing the Crack that you have.

I got a used hinge, treated the crack with POR so that it wouldn't rust and get worse...and have been very carefull not to let the door swing hard, so it would be contained by that U spring riding on the rollers of the hinge.

Keep those rollers well lubed.

so it's 2014 and still intact.
