you can rebush the hinges and new pins will tighten that part up. sometimes the sheet metal where the hinges reside can get get stretched and that can be repaired
Doubt that you'll find a set of NOS hinges so they would have to be rebushed what ever else that you found. just like door hinge pins and bushings
