Other option is aluminium, if that is too hand...
The other question is, assuming you are looking for more strength... What will break instead of the hinges once they are metal? Just something to think about.. Finally have you thought about drawing up some profiles and seeing if you can get a quote from any of the machining services(I think there are some lists on which you can post a job for a quote from a variety of shops). Cheers, AP |

Ah.
Well, self-fabrication isn't an option, as I can't bore the hole for the axle-shaft, even if I could cut the slots with a file or Dremel. And its not as much for strength as for durability, and being able to put a setscrew in one of the pieces (as seen in the image) to lock the axle in place. I guess I'll take some wander-time in the local Home Depot, Rona & mebbe Lowes to see if I can find some generic hardware that could be adapted to the job. I thought I'd ask here first, as I thought there were enough Goldhofer owners on the Forum that having the parts manufactured would be an option. Clearly people here care more about " Bling-parts " that structural parts. WhiteWolf |
