I need to buy new door hinges for my TC. Mine are really loose and worn
out. Both Moss and Abingdon Spares sell them. Any thoughts as to who
would have the better quality? Or would they likely be about the same?
Thanks,

I stock the Moss hinge set. It is mfg. in Australia. This usually means
good quality.

Randy,
How badly are your hinges worn? If its only the bolts and the brass
balls - don't let Badger start anything, you can replace those. The
original hinges were forgings so they can be welded. Thats what I did
to my originals. A previous owner had slotted out the screw holes. I
bought a set from both MOSS and Abingdon and was disappointed with both
of them. Thats why I decided to try and see what I could do with the
original ones. This was about 8 years ago, so things may have
improved. Abingdon's were the closest. They would have worked if I
didn'nt have anything else. The MOSS hinges were a joke. They were
nothing more than heavy sheet metal bent around in the aproximate shape
of a TC door hinge. Take a look at your typical house door hinge and you
get the idea. As I said, that was 8 or so years ago. You can call and
ask the guy to look for you and see what the hinges are like. Thats one
thing I can say about MOSS - sometimes their parts are of dubious
quality, but I've never had any probems with their service.
Regards,
Charles Hill
