Heavy duty aluminum hinges

admin

My next project requires two heavy duty Ali hinges.  The hinges need to be bent in order to let the door open flush with the side of the truck body.  The picture below shows the hinges I am looking for.  You can see how the plate is bent to allow it to open as I'd like.  Anyone haven a source of a hinge?

Reply:Instead of bending the eye, use tube/pipe and then weld on your strap. That or bore it out of solid stock..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.

Reply:Thanks jw, they need to be weldable, so no cast.  Somehow I traced that picture to a manufacturer of that body.  I have an email into them saying I need replacements so crossing my fingers they will sell me parts.In the end I might have to do that Doug.
