So, once the hinge is broke, are the frames pretty much unrepairable?

Recently purchased a pair of Oakley Hatchets from oakleyman2424. Great communication and the transaction went very smooth. The deal was actually for one full pair and a parts pair. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

I still haven't got the screw out, but I haven't tried drilling it yet (may give it a shot this weekend). However, I ordered some allen head screws from McMaster Carr for both the Half X, and Juliet orbitals. Unfortunately the head of the screws are too big to fit into the recesses on the...

Would love to see pictures of these. I have a polished Juliet with a VL mirror lens. It is my favorite as far as how it looks, but the VL lenses are quite dark. I've been considering having some chrome iridiums cut. What lens were yours cut from?

Currently - Polished Penny with VR28. This could change if I could get my hands on some Transition lenses for the Penny.

Could you take a picture of the back of the nose bridge?

Glad to hear you got your money back, and I agree with your description of him, but at least he refunded your money. A couple of years ago I was leaving the house to run some errands and did a quick check of Ping putters on ebay. Saw one that I was interested in that was ending in 3hrs so I...

In the future that sounds like a plan. Upon further inspection of my frame it appears I loosened the screw just a little and now the lens is loose. So I guess I'll have to get this one out.

With regards to Juliet screws I've read 2-56 was the threading (a thread in the forum and Lingear). Wonder if its the same threading for the Half X? If I buy something from McMaster Carr I might as well try to find some screws that will work for the Juliet and Penny orbitals too. Is length...

I was afraid of that. I guess I'll just have to try some small screws from McMaster Carr. Maybe Linegear will start making them.

I guess it was just a matter of time. I finally stripped the head on a T6 screw. It annoys me quite a bit, since I was just trying to back the screw out for the first time on the only pair of x-metals that I've bought BNIB. I'm not sure the screw even budged, and with very little pressure the...

Thanks for the information. Although I've never done any metal work, I've recently took the plunge and acquired a MIG welder and a Horizontal BandSaw. Sounds like I still need to pick up some more tools and do some reading before I tackle any projects.

Other than a Welding Machine, what other tools are needed to tackle a project like this?

Might try contacting this ebay seller, I think he can do it "woodyz_skunkworkz"

Does anyone have a picture of one of the rubber inserts?
