Chapter 20 hinge mods - Teflon tube inserts & click bonds replace screws.

One of the easiest mods which eliminates play and fretting of the hinges. A teflon tube is inserted a with smaller hinge pin and screws replaced with click bonds.


A Dremel with a router head attachment and depth set to create a recess deep enough to a click bond.  To ensure the click bonds are parallel when floxing them in, I used a 1x2 block with holes to keep the click bonds straight.    A 1" two ply BID strip was applied over the click bonds. 
Rudder prepped for click bonds.
