Performer Charcoal door hinge plastic insert
« on: November 01, 2015, 05:36:00 AM »
Hi Guys.

I need some help.  I am restoring a "ER" red SS performer.  I am having trouble finding the charcoal door hinge plastic inserts. This interfaces the frame to door hinge.  Mc-Master identifies them as "flanged sleeve bearing".  I seem to recall reading about them on this site but no mater what search term I used I can't find any information about them.  Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Is it a bushing that holds the hinge rod in place ? I don't recall the part but I'll look at a few of mine :)

Thanks Idahawk. 

Hell Fire - no unfortunately that is not what I am looking for.  The part I am looking for is connects to the hinge rod (#44).  I can see the holes where the hinge rod goes into but there is not reference for a part. 

Thanks again.

Guys,

The Heyco #2038 is incorrect for that location.  I am reordering a new Heyco part and once I confirm fit I will advise the part number.  In meantime if anyone needs a few Heyco #2038 I purchased some extras.  Please send me a PM and I will mail to you. 

Thank you.

Ok,

I received in the Heyco #2020 and they fit perfectly and performed as expect.  The Heyco #2038 fits in between the kettle and the frame.  If anyone needs a few let me know and I will mail to you.  I got a few extras.

Thanks.
