Brian,
I have a set that need to be rebuilt.  They work but are sloppy.  Good cores to send to SMS.

I have 2 sets.

One that I removed a decade ago and looseness is not apparent, not bent or distorted. $250 pair

Second set is on a car with hood and 45k miles. Hood gaps are proven, I will remove these at $400 PR.

Thanks for the responses.
I’m getting a set rebuilt and already found decent cores.

Thanks

These hinges are very problematic, what is the cost to rebuild them and do they address all the pivotal points? Or only problem ones? Do they refinish them as well? Im good about keeping them lubricated, a critical preventative.

It costs about $400 to get them refurbished which seems very high to me but there is only one place doing them. They repair any distortion to the holes and re rivet them.
They are made too small for the Eldorado hood but hopefully once repaired they should last for many more years.
