You are correct. Fortunately the 2 sets of the 2 71's I'm restoring had no slop at the rivets. I do consider these restored, and primarily made this video to show how the springs were removed.
If you have to rebuild the pivot point (rivet) then just get a nicer set without any slop. Plenty of these available. It’s not time or cost effective on an inexpensive part like this. Now if we’re talking scissor top side rails then yes, worth rebuilding. I would say these are restored he didn’t say rebuilt. Drop a link to your videos so we can see your work.
Been trying to get him to restore Cadillacs, and then give me one. Lol. He keeps buying Pontiacs though!
Ha! You buy the Caddie, I'll restore the hinges.
@@Teds455 i need a bigger garage LMAO. You need to buy a shop shop i can store it there lol
Removing the spring, cleaning up the metal, and painting do not make these restored. How much play is in each pivot point from years of wear?
