looking for aluminum hinges

[MinUph]

I've been looking for offset (bent) one side piano type hinges for the tops of upholstered boxes on my boat. I can't seem to find them at a reasonable price. I need 2-14" and one 10".
I wrote to iboats and haven't received any reply in days.

Check McMaster-Carr. They have a pretty good selection and reasonable prices. www.mcmaster.com

Thanks for the link. I looked and they don't have any offset hinges. Just piano type with both sides flat. I will post a pic of one I have to clear things up.

Pics definitely help. Maybe you could combine a flat hinge with a piece of aluminum angle if you can't find exactly what you are looking for.

Re: looking for aluminum hinges

I thought about that. I would have to open up the upholstery and undercut the wood so the added thickness would work. Trying not to add all that bulk if I don't have to. Someone must sell these hinges. I've seen them through the years on other boats I've owned. I thought they would be easy to find. Wrong!
