HI
Maybe but I don't think so, most are thin coated and are not true size

Welding wire would work also but it's not coated the norm so it time it would stain the hinge joint...unlike the brass or stainless steel..plus I had a tube or two of brazing rod around the shop with white flux on it and with a grinder steel brush it was quick work to get clean them off to the brass rod..then tape them up with masking tape ,20 or so and cut them to size with my 12.oo dollar, 4 1/2" Grizzly chop saw . LOL ..... that I use all the time to cut bolts/threaded rod with.

I was wondering about that. I just thought perhaps that may be a cheap way to get the rods.

Hi Ken

I wish it was, my son drops tons of them off all the time, he works for a company that they require him wear work pants ,etc. and he gets hangers by the box and I cut off the strait part and used them all the time, to hang parts up for painting,etc. and to repair my Ford PU LOL (Fix Or Repair Daily)
