Worked ok with me.
Had to run a tap down the thread holes on the hinges to clean them up.
The pin kit can't take any serious wear out of the actual hinges though.
All in all, pleased with the kit (s).

I too have used these with a great deal of success, as long as the wear hasn't spread into the actual hinge body they affer a 100% solution to hinge wear.

The MK1 hinge kits from Minispares are very high quality nowadays. These are a good option if you can't re bush your existing hinges.
