<VV> What secures the damper door hinge pin?

[DaveL]

 A fix was mentioned at our club's Sunday tune-up clinic.
Drill a small hole in the pin near the head where it will clear the
sheetmetal when it's in place. Then install a small cotter pin. That should
hold it in for good.
 I'm going to try it on my broken one this week. It sounds like a great fix.
