Hello  all, 

My Europa has developed some play in the outer aileron hinges  as a number of people seem to have experienced. I am planning to replace the  hinge wire with a teflon  sleeve but have not been able to find a consensus about the right size from  previous emails. Recommendations copied below are for sleeve of  ID  0.066", wall 0.012", OD 0.090 (with pin 0.0625) or ID of 0.105, OD of 0.125,  wall thickness of 0.010 with a pin of 0.094. That seems quite a big  difference. 

  

My  hinge wire for the standard Europa supplied MS20001-5  hinges is 0.092 inches, so the second suggestion sounds closer, but I'm not sure  whether the OD of 0.125 would go into the hinge. ACS specifies 0.089 inch pin  for MS20001 hinges.  

  

I  would be very grateful if those who have successfully used teflon sleeve in the standard  MS20001 hinges could tell me the dimensions of the sleeve and hinge wire used,  and where they were sourced from.

From  the Cozy list archive I understand that the parts can  be procured  

from  McMasterCarr: 

teflon  sleeve: 5335K17, ID 0.066" (1.6764 mm), wall 0.012", OD 0.090"   

(2.286  mm), $2.30 per 10 feet 

pin:  7972A261, 1/16" (1.5875 mm), $17.60 forr 32 lengths of  3 feet McMasterCarr does not ship overseas anymore so  a US  builder might  

intermediate. 

The  diameters are smaller than the ones you mention Graham, but more   

likely  to be correct? 

Could  it be that you have larger hinges than MS20001? 

I  measure hinge ID of MS20001 at about 1.8 or 1.9 mm, regular pin OD at   

about  1.5 or 1.6 mm. 

Inserting  the teflon sleeve proposed  above will be a stretch already. A question also arises concerning the pin  proposed above - diameter  

seems  rather similar to that of the regular pin.

  Bill Theeringer used to do kits  too, 

  The teflon sleeving is 14 gauge electrical, has an OD of 0.125, a  wall 

  thickness of 0.010, an ID of  0.105, 

  and uses a 0.094 302 SS welding rod pin.  This results in a  0.011 slop  

  around the pin.   I recomend cutting the teflon at each hinge juncture  so 

  the teflon is captivated and  rotates aroind the pin.  Mine has over   

  1000 hours on it and shows no sign of wear.  You can put a warp in the   

  pin to 

  eliminate the slight slop, but I think this will result in pressure   

  points that will facilitate wear.  My personal opinion  only.

     Have a look at:-   http://www.uslan.com/hinge-kit.html

     

     This is what I´ve used in all my hinges from new but he says it     works in an already worn hinge.
