This object was created with Tinkercad. You can edit it online at https://www.tinkercad.com/things/3GYsdP5gNAY. A plastic bushing, essentially a cap, was designed to replace the broken one on my outdated and no longer available top pivot spring-loaded post/guide for a wooden folding door, which is approximately 30 years old as of 2018. No retailer had a match for it, and no modern pivot/cap fits. The cap takes no weight and is used solely to guide the closet door through the top rail/track. The cap is hollow to allow it to be placed over the metal pin, which has an interior lip that prevents the cap from popping out. Without using a vice and pliers, I cannot remove the old cap from the pin. The cap goes into the rail/track with some "wiggle" room, if you will, while the "brim" (bottom) of the cap keeps the "hat" (cylinder) from wandering out of the rail. The pin's spring keeps the "brim" flush on the bottom lip of the rail/track. The "hat" does not rotate/spin when moved, but there is nothing wrong with it doing so. Measurements: - The top of the cap's hollow or inside diameter is 3/8 inch for a height of 1/16 inch. This "lip" prevents the bushing from falling into the pivot. - The inside diameter changes to 0.394 inch (1 cm) for a height of 0.3125 inches, allowing it to fit over the pivot's flared/flanged top, which is slightly narrower than 1 cm. - The top of the "hat's" outside diameter is 1/2 inch with a hat thickness of 1/16 inch. - The "hat" is 3/8 inch high, including the 1/16 inch thick/high "brim." - The "brim's" diameter across its bottom is 5/8 inch.
