Voltage hinge pin dowel replacement?

[LHallCT]

Hello,

Looking to replace the tiny plastic or silicone hinge pins in my Oakley Voltage Rx frames. OX8049-0155 137 Black Satin

My wife sat on the frames . The glasses are fine , but the little hinge pins snapped. They look like they might be replaceable. Just push new pins in to the pin hole..

I checked out Oakley's website and they only sell earsock kits , nose pieces and cases...

Maybe the dealer might be able to help..

Any ideas?

Thanks

Got a picture? How big are these pins?

guess 1 mm in diameter by 1 cm in length white plastic/nylon

Look for a metal rod in that diameter then cut it to length

Yeah - wooden pin dowel is the way to go here. I have done it on loads of frames. Make sure you use the best quality wood you can get.
