I would just drill/grind the pin heads off and commence a beatin'! Take your time and watch where the drill/grinder is going, you don't want to damage the hinge. After it is out take some measurements [or find a machinist friend to help, your going to need him/her for stage two for sure]. Now find/make a new pin I would think a Gr. 8 Bolt would do nicely adjust the head to fit the space [I remember that going inside the other hinge] maybe remove the extra stock and tack weld it in. If you have any mould shops around, a cut off piece of "ejector sleeve" would be an excellent choice [and free if you are lucky]. I f luck isn't running your way right then just make the piece with the help of said machinist friend [of course you may already have said skills that would be a big win!] Some adjusting of the plan will likely be in order as you open up the "patient"! Good Luck and share your journey with us win or lose, we will all learn something either way, and we may still be able to Help out. Harry
