Cabin door hinges - Swan 41

Dear Forum, I wonder if anyone can help me find replacement cabin door hinges for Scotch Bonnet? Ideally matching the original would be good since I don’t need to replace them all. The dimensions are 70mm x 55mm brass, which seems to be an unusual size, at least in Australia. I have tried to post a photo of the hinge but failed, perhaps the file size is too large but I can’t workout how to check photo size on iPad? Thanks everyone, Andrew 41-039

Hi Andrew,

I tried googling it directly with the dimensions, using the image search. There are 70x55mm hinges out there, but I have not seen one with hole positions like on yours.

Good luck!

Last spring I had the same problem with the hinges of the ice box in the galley.  There was only one defective hinge but I could not find the proper size; I eventually bought two of the closest available size, sligtly larger, and adjusted the mortise accordingly. It was a very small adjustment and pretty simple for any person with even a limited woodworking skill.

My advice, after adjusting the mortise, is first fill the previous screw holes with a wooden plug and then use the modern kind of screws for wood, with cylindrical shank and enhanced thread; they have a much better grip than the old kind of conical screws and no one - not even myself - will complain for straying from the original design!  Stainless steel countersunk screws, of course, and torx screw drive if you are so lucky to find it.

Thank you Christian, thank you Daniel. I had not heard of image search, that is a great result, thank you for giving me the link.  I will email them today and hope they can correspond in English because they look like my solution. And I will then fix the screws as recommended. Thanks again, Andrew
