Default CMP tail gate hinges

Im starting to do the rebuild on my CMP Wire-3 box. Its the standard looking box as found on the 15cwt CMP.

Has anyone ever seen any off the shelf items that would be the same as the hinges for the tail gate. Or does anyone know of a place that could make some for me?

Default Ah come on Jordan......

After all the repros you have done don't tell me you are going soft and are looking for a Canadian Tire part number.....!!!

On a more serious note...... Grant will no doubt jump in ..... he is/has done some for his 20cwt trailer he is rebuilding..... a bit tedious but quite possible to make....in fact Grant has reproduced the whole trailer box.

Cheers

I was working to make hinges for the 15 cwt trailer rescued from the Smiths Falls scrapyard as pretty much the complete box needed rebuild. Some of the hinges made are shown. There were variations in stock size and length depending on location and use but all were made the same way.

Default Hinge jig

The jig used to bend the hinges was made from scrap bits of angle, rod and plate welded (crudely) together. The photos show the jig and the bending sequence scribbled on some wood that has probably since been fed to Lucifer. The bending had to take place in phases as I couldn't work fast enough the do the full bend in one heating of the stock. I was using an oxy-acetylene torch for the heating. If you have access to a forge, it might work better.
