Gear hinge/ hatch questions

[dales133]

I have as usual made life harder for myself by making my TD extra wide and local the only thing I can get galley hinge wise is a gear hinge.
The are realy good quality and a nice profile with several different styles avaliable.

I'm not sure if I need to rebate my walls for the hatch or not but if I used the surface mount or the one in the link.in my mind I don't but I'd like some more input please!

I don't know about those hinges. I do know that hurricane hinges work and Grant will sell you one up to 80". Make sure you ask him about the install. He's the definition of help when it comes to teardrops. In Tibet, the monks call him the dalai-lama of teardrop builders.

Hey Dale, get in touch with Reiner at Aussie Teardrop Campers. He has the hurricane hinge that you are looking for.
What part of Oz are you in?
Cheers

[dales133]

I'm in Victoria.
I don't think he has them wide enough

[PaulC]

How wide?

[dales133]

Hang on I'll measure ir

[dales133]

1590mm
62.59 inches

[dales133]

This gear hinge comes in 2 meter lengths

[PaulC]

Reiner can do one in Black or White, cut to your desired length(1650mm) and post it to you for $105.00 I just asked him while he is out sailing

Cheers
Paul

[dales133]

Thanks for that Paul, no silver?

[PaulC]

Black or white in up to three metres. Non powder coated are all gone.

[dales133]

I don't need it right now.
In fact I've got issues with my side profile s at the hatch end

[PaulC]

That's cool mate. It's one of the last things you will need.
Cheers
Paul
