You are an inspiration Mr. Jones....
I have also search high and low for such hinges and like Phil came up empty.
Not having all the milling/press I think it can still be done albeit slowly. The big hurdle is to get a machine shop to make me the suitable half circle die. I am sure I can duplicate the bending press with my 20 ton hydraulic press for such a short item. I may cut the individual fingers with a metal band saw and finish slowly with a file. On the door skins..... lucky I have only 2 doors otherwise I would have to deal with four skins ....... did you prebend the two top bends in the top section first then worked on the sides .... How difficult was it doing the curved section.... it seems that it needs to be shrinked first when you do the first 90 degrees than stretched when you finally flatten that section down. Did you use any heat at all....? Did you spot weld one side before doing the opposite side?? Thanks for the pictures. Cheers
