Thanks ardiesse
I had another go at getting my spring on but every time I got it to clip in it let go again so ended up taking the hinge off and noticed the main pivot points hole was elongated
If I can post the photos could someone tell me if they are actually worn
Thanks

Umm, yes. Just a little bit. Hold hinge tongue in one hand, link in the other, then push and pull . . .

Grind the rivet, punch it out. Weld the oval hole up and drill it to size. Fit new rivet. Repeat for the hinge spring bracket.
