Cannot find a thread, Industrial plastic balls for door hinge repair?

[Richard48Y]

Wednesday I should be able to make a run at confirming that my hinge adapter design is correct.
I may need to do a small revision to ensure easy fitting and full articulation.
I doubt that very much articulation is really needed.
Thickness of the mounting flange and spacers are most of what I need to confirm.

In an hour I will know if my latest revision of the S2/TC door hinge adapter bushings is correct.
If it is I will begin printing them in bulk.
The ball inserts are inexpensive.
My printed bushings are cheap, the price of hardware is somewhat high.
I also have to make some insert bushings to adapt the balls to the bolts, I expect to do them in aluminum on my lathe.
Lots of options for the bolts, steel, aluminum, titanium, how light do you want to go?
It may be worth mentioning that even with steel hardware there is a significant weight savings with this hinge conversion.
Not ready to set prices yet, but this will be much less expensive than any other option on the market.

How is this project going Richard? I hope to worry about installing doors soon so I can test drive my project ....

If you have some help to fit your doors I can send you a set of the adapters.
I am confident in this but cannot find any help with the trial fitting.
I hope to solve that soon, all I have to do is overpay per hour.
AND the hard part, find someone sober-not under the influence-not a thief.
