old hinge guides the top (RHS of photo), have I overlooked something?



The message from Nigel Molesworth contains these words:

You've got it the wrong way round! Close the new hinge and push it past the centre and out the other side so the left hinge becomes the right and the right the left. If that makes any sense at all!

D'OH! I don't think I've ever felt so stupid.

I only know 'cos I spent a few minutes getting very cross with one once.

I had actually re-hung the window with them the wrong way round, so it was a lot more than a few minutes, and in the rain. Many thanks.
