Hi Chris

The hinges on the Engine compartments, hinges that are found on any small hatch, strage box etc.

I thought that one would basically use one broad method of making the hinge and then apply it to a specific hinge in the specifc area?

Alos the type of materials one would use?

Is this specific enough?

Well I know it depends on the size of the hinges you are looking for, but there's been a recent thread here about working hinges :
