Door hinge brackets

When I previously fitted the doors to test the openings, nuts where used as the condition of the brackets was poor (see below).


Rather than purchase new brackets, I undertook a mini restoration.

First I removed what was left of the rusted bolts.



Some of the threads where ok.


In the damaged threads I just drilled them out with the idea of welding on nuts.




Unfortunately, whilst I could melt the weld to the nut, the bracket would not have anything to do with it!


I may have another go later or just use the bracket as a washer.
