Roger thanks for the compliments! the restoration work has been put on hold for the last couple of months due to work load at work and I was really hoping to do some serious floor work on the Alfa during the holiday break....we'll see. The hinge pin problem you're asking about seems to be a common one. The ones on my car also are quite sloppy at the moment and at first I thought that this was a result of the bore on aluminum hinges wearing out. Now I don't really know for certain however, I read somewhere that rubber bushings were used originally at these locations....and if that is the case, I can easily see these simply disintegrating over time. For restoring these I was going to go with the bushing kits that seem to be readily available from the usual supplliers .....they seem pretty straightforward enough.
