Hard to find hinges

Post by linn_chris43 »

Does anyone know where I can find hinges like this? They are a butt hinge with an 3/8" offset. Used on all of my avion under seat storage compartments. They are nice since they mount underneath and inline with 3/8" plywood. I can't find them anywhere and I need a couple more.

You could take regular ones in to a metal shop and ask them to put them on a metal sheet brake.

Yes, and I have the capability to bend, but all of the piano hinges I found don't have enough width to bend.

I found one. Eight inches long from a 68 Avion. I am looking for the other one I thought I had two.

I have a few more with a one inch flat on each side. Should be enough to bend.

Sorry one side is shorter. Thought they were the same.

If any of these hinges would be of help let me know.
I'll be glad to send them to you.

Sawmiller, thanks for the offer. Hopefully I can find a matching pair, otherwise I might make some. I took some from a storage compartment to make my dinette furniture, so I'm not in a super hurry. I'll keep yours in mind if I don't find anything.

This is the dinette set I'm making for our Avion.
