Also in my case the original hinge wire ended up being to hard to insert and remove. I went for a stainless wire that was a fraction smaller in diameter and it works well.

I don't have your direct e-mail but Paul suggested I talk to you on Rough River. He's out of the country right now. How about dropping me an e-mail or call me to discuss it. I believe there was talk about re-doing with the EAA local chapter like last year. Lets talk.
