Door hinges for my Streamline

Hi,

First of all let me say thank you Air Stream Forum and your members! In the last year I purchased a '69 Streamline and have been fixing it up; could have never done it without all the knowledge on your forum.

I am living in the trailer full time, and recently noticed that the hinges to my door are about to completely snap. I have attached to some photos so you can see the state of the hinges and how the door works.

I have looked for the same hinges online, with no luck; I saw on your Forum that someone in a similar situation had them hand made, a costly solution, plus, my Streamline is parked in Mexico, and my door is not going to hold on for too long.

This means I'm looking for another solution; I realize it is not an airstream, but am hoping some of the savvy people on here have brilliant ideas/ creative solutions. Ideally new hinges would be aluminum (parked near the sea so rust is a major issue with steel), and strong enough to hold the big door up. I could use separate hinges for the second, smaller part of the door that opens. Am curious to hear what you think, what solutions come to mind, and where you think I should look!

Thank you

I did a quick google search for "aluminum offset strap hinge" and got a number of hits that may give you some creative ideas. Try that and see what you come up with.

Check with the crew over at the Silver Streak forum thru tompatterson.com. Had some hinge sets run off a few years back. Look for blueprints as well.
