Took bloody ages trying to figure out how to convert the dwg to stl, then the hinge had to be moved so everything was in a positive axis. FFS. It's been about 15 years since I did any cad work. Trying to remember the commands. Phew. Got there in the end. See what the quote is like tomorrow all being well. That is provided I managed to do the dimensions in mm and not cms.
Still, has to be easier than trying to understand electrickery.

Land Rovers, who would be daft enough to own one?

quote is £10 plus vat per piece and I need 8 in total. 2 pieces makes 1 hinge, need a nut and bolt. Whilst that would be ok for a trial basis I may try to talk to a machine shop I know to see what ideas he can come up with.
Damn and blast. what happened to a couple of pennies per piece.

You do well to re-think, Declan. You may have to wait a while before you make your fortune

Yup, not a viable way of manufacturing. I have thought of a different way of doing it, but back to searching the web for a few days to see if I can get the bit I need. At a sensible price.

Well. Hurrah. That's what I say. After hours searching the web looking at every type of hinge available except what I actually want. Actually not quite true. I did find a marine one but it was slightly larger and £25 each so not really viable.
Anyhow, the solution was staring me under the nose. Might need a bit of grinding but that is all. Should be able to prove the basics by next weekend.
Phew.
Just thought I would share that with you.
