  • Im back again with another bodge request, open to ideas! I bought a couple of these wall hangers to store my wheels - they are pretty cheap at £3 a piece, but despite the product description theyre the version where the hook swivels. Thats not good for me, as the wheels are high up where I can only reach the bottom of the wheels, not the swivel to fold it into position when putting up the wheels.

    As far as I can tell, its stamped steel. I considered:
    blast the hinge with a heat gun and then solder it (no paint on the inside of it)
    fixing it in position with superglue then epoxy the inside of the hinge

    Any clever bodge ideas?

  • Bash the outside of the hinge with a hammer and/or a punch (or improvised versions thereof). It shouldn't take much to create sufficient friction.

    The end of the tongue on the back would be a good place to start.
