N7724's gear door hinges have corroded away to almost nothing

Any suggestions for a source of these? I can browse the hardware store and catalogs, or make some from aviation piano hinges, but perhaps others have already sourced these?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Collin,

My springs are in good shape, so hold on to those in case someone else needs them. It is the door hinges that are shot. I ordered some stock hinge from McMaster-Carr today that I think I can make some new ones with.

Thanks for the offer though

BTW, I have a new home address:

135 E Cuyuga Drive
Powell, OH 43065

This is getting confusing

- Springs or Hinges Markku? - Do you want me to make you some hinges, or do you need new springs?
