Title: looking for aluminum hinges
Post by: MinUph on January 07, 2012, 06:04:43 pm
I've been looking for these hinges and thought they would be easy to find. My mistake. I need these to hinge two rear upholstered seat tops on a pontoon and a smaller one for a small door. Anyone know where I might find them? I've looked all over the Internet and even a salvage yard.

That's a "single wrap piano hinge" when you're googling.  I bet McMaster-Carr has scads of them.  Here's one other source.

June,
  Finally got a response from Wolf Marine and they are the right ones for my needs. Thanks again.

Happy they were the right ones, Paul.  BTW, I frequently find oddball stuff at GreatLakesSkipper.com.  I don't know if they might have had your hinges but no matter now.
