Anyone know where I can get bonnet hinges like these?
Or something that would work in the same way
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

I think I may have some Ultima Spyder door hinges that work in a similar fashion.
I'll try and dig them out later.

Those look like they might do it, thanks, although there seems to be some bits missing. Plus I think it's funny when websites have a
'click to enlarge' feature and the new picture isn't any bigger. Not sure why they would do it as a kit, can't think of
anyother way you would want to put them together. I'll give them a ring if nothing ready to use turns up.

Thanks for that, but I might need a few pairs, and they would need to be all the same.

Why not make some?
Then you can get them exact size you want them
Just get some plates water cut or similar and weld together, then bolt one half of hinge to the other

It's a good point, the answer is that to make them strong enough they would need to be quite thick, whereas I think the ready-made ones have
stamped raised edges, thus getting the same rigidity from thinner material. Other problem is the pivots, how would I do that, and the third problem is
I don't know how many I will need yet, so being able to buy them as I need them would be handy.

fury door hinges will probably be far too heavy weight for this (they're not light)
However, do a search on "bonnet hinge" on ebay and you may find something suitable from a regular tintop..

I did think of that (and google) woudn't want you to think I wouldn't look for myself, but, basically, no there isn't.
There's a couple that are not far away, but they tend to be for obscure cars that someone just happens to have lying around, but I need
something that I can buy as and when, and know I can get more if I need to eventually.
