Depending on the overall shape of your vehicle, you may want to keep it color coded. You can get rattle can color coded paint for ~20-25 a can. Not that there is anything wrong with Rusto (we're owned by the same parent company <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)...

I ordered that part minutes after you posted the number! Will have to try the rustoleum.
Wonder if I can download that manual if I run windows on my mac.
Thanks again. The Factory Service Manual is a pdf so you can view it on a Mac, Windows, IOS, or even Android OS. The Mitsu ASA program however is an app that requires Windows. My Mac buddies are always telling me how they can run any windows program. Nows the time that you can help them let the rubber meet the road & see what she does... I'm sure she'll work fine. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

One of the members here spun up a version of ASA to run on my Mac via Virtual Box. It works very well in the Virtual Box XP window.

That's exactly what happened to my 95 SR, it came from MN to NE and finally went all the way when we moved to TX. Anyways I replaced my lower hinge (all of it) because I found one down here in San Antonio. Much easier then replacing just the pin. I sat the door on an office chair (top hinge still holding the door) while I took off the bad one and had my wife either hold the door or start the bolts with the new hinge in. Worked like a charm. It's a blue hinge on a white truck but no one knows but me.

I saw that truck in traffic the other day and thought "who's that nut...?" <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />
