Just picked up a heritage 2 with a 13 inch nozzle, but it seems the hinges are broken off. Is there anyway I can fix it?

Sid,
You may likely need new hinges; they are part no. 1547. Replacement rivets will be part no. 1545 or 1864. ~Ben This post was last edited 01/24/2024 at 20:41 | ||

Thanks guys, couldnt find those parts anywhere in stock so i was able to push out the rivets and added 8 inch zipties and it held up perfectly fine. idk how long itll last but seems pretty sturdy. | ||

The
Bottom plate off a ds 80 should fit. If you could rivet it on it would work. You could use very small metal screws to hold the hinges on.
You could get a regular heritage nozzle for parts. Get hinges and parts off of it. If you use a set tool you could pop out the rivets of the heritage nozzle and reattach on h2 13. You then use needle nose and flatten out the rivets. There's a few ideas. | ||
