I made 5 pcs metal fuel door hinge pin for tundra loose gas cap lol

it's really nice!

 

I can’t picture where this fits, where the 5 pins are, but good!

 

Looks like the part is the hinge pivot for the fuel door.
Perhaps the OP had an issue with it not closing all the way.
I'd guess the metal hinge pin is more rigid and stronger than the OEM plastic pin.

Good job @shenwinfy

 

Ahh, got it. I understood from the title that he used 5 pins … lol, now I understand he used 5 parts to replace one…. I love over-engineering!!

 

Thinking he made one for himself and ended up with a few spares…

 

Very nice. Was this because of a failure of the factory part, or just "because I can"?

 

Plastic junk is gone here, installed key locking aluminum fuel door.

 

Op, those look to be either investment cast or sintered metal?

 

I looked into the thoise the last time gas started going up.
it was a 4 month wait to get it shipped..
Although I'd have it by now if I'd a ordered it..

 

I actually would have had to wait too but got lucky and bought an open pkg that was returned in new condition and offered at a discounted cost as well.

 

Aluminum cast

 

lol, sell on amz, it's first sample and began to make 1k psc now

 

Ahh, that would explain the ejection pin marks. More inline with your 1000pcs run. Are they being made overseas?
