Lost Hinge Pin

[Ky. Rider]

I lost a hinge pin out of the trunk hinge on my 06. Any suggestions for a replacement and how to secure it? Thanks. Bill

Drill bit? Mix some JB Weld and apply to the hinge both sides just enough to prevent bit from vibrating out.

Try McMaster Carr here is alink that may help http://www.mcmaster.com/#drill-rods/=ox5u41, this for a "High-Speed M2 Tool Steel, Hardened Undersized Rod, 3.50mm Diameter, 2-7/8" Length" , catalog # 2900A267, $2.82

I did a quick check on the ID of the hinge on my 07, but a little hard to get a real accurate measurement with out pulling the pin out and measuring the pin it self. You may want to pull the other one and measure it to get a more exact measurement. Surely wil be some standard metric size.

All we use to do on aircraft was install the pin and squeze the ends of hinge to keep from sliding out. Dont take alot.
