Have you got the horribly overpriced billet aluminium hinges?

@meego I thought you used to be able to get galvanised ones which I am sure is what I have on the front of mine. But when I needed second row hinges I could not find any. I am expecting the same issue. But so far are just in zinc primer and coach enamel.

Why do you say over priced?

You aware of material costs, labour these days? Even if made in china.

£300 is very reasonable. Id dare you to have them designed and manufactured to same standard first time for less. They are CNCd remember not mass produced cast.

I designed a set of security, greaseable hinges for a 110. Billet Alli, prices come in around £1k.

I had mine blasted and hot zinc sprayed maybe 20 yrs ago along with lots of other bits and bobs. I then painted them. No rust but the paint is a bit iffy now.
My local galv place had a minimum order value of £100 a while back, maybe that's an option with some other bits? They have to be clean though. Stainless bolts but I didn't buy the expensive, to me, kit, I got standard countersunk hex drive ss bolts but had to reduce the outside diameter of the heads on a bench grinder so they would sit nicely into the hinge holes.View attachment 347408
