Hard to find hinges
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.
Re: Hard to find hinges
I found one. Eight inches long from a 68 Avion. I am looking for the other one I thought I had two.
Re: Hard to find hinges
I have a few more with a one inch flat on each side. Should be enough to bend.
Re: Hard to find hinges
Sorry one side is shorter. Thought they were the same.
Re: Hard to find hinges
If any of these hinges would be of help let me know.
I'll be glad to send them to you.

Re: Hard to find hinges
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.
