Re: [DML] Permanent solution for engine cover hinge rust



Since this is a part which suffers frequently to the elements, I am surprised 
someone hasnt remanufactured them. Perhaps out of stainless then painted 
black? I know you can no longer buy them and have to try to find a used one, 
if you need one as I did when one of mine broke. Its really a simple part 
which should be easy to reproduce. I would think there would be a increasing 
demand in the future for them as well.

<< On both of My DMC's and nearly every other DMC I have seen that lives in a
rust-prone environment (like up here in Oregon), I have seen rusting engine
cover hinges. Since the problem areas on the hinge are the inner hinge
portiotion where the surfaces slide across each other, it does not appear
that repainting or powercoating the engine cover hinges would really provide
a permanent solution to avoid thie unsightly rust. Does anyone have a
real/permanent solution to the slight rust typical on the engine cover
hinges?
