Houdini 500 hatch hinge needed.

[W+T]

As always there is a problem when i try to do something. One screw snaps off in twenty or tape measure goes missing again just when i need it and shops are shut etc etc.

Now i have gone and lost the knuckle on the end of the hinge on the Houdini 500 hatch as below.
 

 

So by a chance of a miracle has anybody got one spare or can remove from a hatch that is gong for scrap pleas.

I need the right hand knuckle and screws if you can please. Or complete hinge.


PM if you can help please

Cheers

Wayne

Go to a model shop, buy a length of square bar brass.

Cut off required length and drill two holes, one to take pivot pin the other for securing screw.

 

Alternatively use epoxy/metal putty and shape one.  You could shove drill bits in to form the holes before it hardens.

or square bar aluminium. 

(Metal supermarket, or B&Q often have stuff like it, or Ebay)

I hate metalwork (much prefer wood) but even I could fashion a pretty good facsimile from a piece of ally bar I think.
