This is the hinge that cracked and then broke. I made Graham stop using it until we got the new shell and transferred the electronics into it. The remaining hinge houses the ribbon cable for the upper electronics. A tear in that cable would have ruined the DS.
This one came to me with the back completely ripped off the hinge. I tried to re-rivet it by deforming the old rivets, and repunching them, but that didn't take, so it was suggested that a replacement back would be a better solution.
So while I'm waiting for the donor body, it's time for some CLA on the rest of the camera.

Interesting relationship I just realized. It's not overly strong, but so long as your hinges aren't warped, they shouldn't flop around too much. Just one more reason to shoot the guy who decided to stop producing these hinges.
Apologies for the picture quality. I didn't have very good lighting for this shot.
We saw our first worn out set of bearings on a Brompton this winter. Nick's rear triangle was a bit shakey side-to-side, so new bearing to the rescue. This beautifully made reamer along with a knowledgeable toolmaster will make things good as new.
Nick was patient with us and knew the job would be done well. The next Brommie that needs a hinge bearing will be quick as we now have the tools and the parts.
