Need replacement "hinge-cover-metal-thingy"
« on: October 07, 2021, 08:41:15 am »
Due to fault of my own, I lost the metal part covering the hinge (see attached vid for tech gore).

Anyone have a spare, that they'd be interested in having put to use?

Edit: I'm in Denmark, btw.

Update:

Planet support got back to me less than 2 days after I contacted them. A pleasant surprise.

I will accept their offer* if I don't find a spare anywhere else in the next couple of days.

Have a nice weekend!

*£25 plus P&P -- excited to see, what that sums to.

didn t loose mine, but after a fall it detaches easily and is "wobbly". Any hints?

Are you getting it to attach closely at all attachment points?

Upload a picture of the attachment points, and I can tell you, if the issue looks famiilar.
