Hi Bernie & Mick,
I'm back home now Bernie. I to took Paula out to the property in Texas.

Mick, These were aircraft hinges made by Hartwell. They are expensive only because they are used on aircraft. I figure if I can get one and draw it
up in my CAD program I could have them made with variations, I have access
to a large CNC machine shop and as long as I have the DXF. file I can have them made. There are a few other copies around but they want a small ransom as well. As long as that part is not used on an aircraft then it should not cost that much. I know about supply and demand but $1200 for a set is
not fair. There is a replica set available for I believe $800. Even that is too high. I think a fair price is more around $75 range .

Hersh
