First I removed and inserted the hinge pin the opposite way around , and bearing in mind my hinge pin had worked its way free from the plastic once allready I decided it would be epoxied in place .
Then I cut a section of spring from a retractable ball-point pen to act as a spacer that will tension the inner assembly up against the guides , but also have enough compression to disassemble in the future if ever needed .
(A better solution than my original plan to use a solid spacer)
Rather than rely on 2 small spots of epoxy to hold the outer section Closer to the inner section , Allthough I’m adding a non-genuine part I believe this is the better solution .
