Same thing happened to me. I missed the PIT in MN by about two weeks.
Thankfully Eli came to the rescue and sent me the repair kit. I really took my time and it took me about 4 hours to replace the rear hinge. I will probably be able to get it down to about half that for the next two. Eli’s hinge install video answered all my questions I had after reading the written instructions.
I am happy with the upgrade.
