So I was attempting to make some quick release hinges for my half doors, but I can't get the pins to go in. It's on a 79, So does anyone have any pictures of the pins you are using and are there any special tricks or something. I could get a smaller diameter pin but I am afraid that would creat too much slop in the door. Thanks for any help

i belive if u go 2 a hard ware/tractor supply use the pins with holes pre-drilled that might make it easyer for u then using bolts.
