strange plastic hinge

My Streamline has hatch panels that have strange plastic hinges on them. (The picture is rotated 90 degrees, these hinges are on the side of the door) One of them is broken. Any idea where I could get the plastic parts?

I looked at outfitting them with piano hinges, but I'd have to do some major surgery to do so.

Outwater - M42 - page 332

...and the next couple pages after that, too.

Hmm. Nothing quite right at Outwater. Here's a video of the movement.



I'd call this a nesting-nautilus hinge, if it were me naming.

Sorry, I think I fixed that now. Should be viewable.

Weird. It's hard for me to see what's behind it. Another place to look might be mcmaster.com ....
