Sorry hips again

[Lttalbay]

As mentioned before the much loved Natasha is ina bit of a sorry state, now in the worst possible way have her inner workings exposed.

Have looked at the posts reguarding 'fixing' her hip joints and while I have access to a lathe and average engineering skills there is no way I can reproduce the joints that Dolly was lucky enough to get, and sorry Abyss (even UK now that is a possibilty) but paying 300-500 quid for something that will fail again doesn't appeal.

Repair is the medium option, counter drilling the white 4 screw upper bracket and putting locktight and decent screws looks reasonable along with replacing the lower bolts with newer/decent bolts and nuts would seem the route to go, anyone tried or had experience with that approach?

Would dearly love to repair her and have her back on the site, many wigs and outfits on standby and hate letting you peeps and Sam down by her absence!
