I'm probably going with Dr. Dean hinges on my tail because that's what everyone is doing now. But, has anyone heard of the one of the original U channel hinges failing or wearing out and had to be changed? The price for one hinge set up is about $11.00 at Wicks. Times nine hinges or so. You could buy a lot of U channel for that price.
