Waeco Refrigerator door hinge pin

I haven’t researched yet, does anyone have a lead on this hinge pin? The pin broke off the mount and is in the door. I’m going to swap the top and bottom but will need to replace the top if I can find one. Thanks!!

The pins are the same on the newer models but I would just buy a short SS bolt and have it welded in place of the pin.

I might go this route. Will cut the bolt down to the correct length. Hopefully I can get the broken pin out of the door. If not, I might just hammer it into the door.

I forgot to add that the screws are too rusted to get the bracket off.

You could shave off a bit of that plastic around the pin hole in the door to account for the nut.  Add a washer on there and it should work perfect.

I was going to do that but found a bolt that was slightly bigger than the hole in the door. It’s in nice and tight. It’s not going anywhere, pivots nicely with the door.

Looks original, well done.

Thanks!

I’m shocked I had everything with me to do the repair at the dock! 👍🏻
