Really? That's an untapped upgrade market. Thanks though, good to know. Will check it's not just a loose bolt but from what I heard about drilling the old bolts to replace the pivot.. probably not.

The Bolts are threadlocked in, uncommon yo come loose but can happen’

I’d say the average user goes through a hinge in 1-2 years.

I have seen lots of ideas to change it, but none would be an improvement - more costly, would wear quicker, no real advantage!

Maybe unlucky then, or just over-sensitive to a small amount of play. I modified the catch to remove that loose knock they have there so feeling the hinge play is easier. Will pop a new one in when it gets a bit further along, plenty of good grease and hope. Cheers.
