Hi guys
Hurricane hinges look great but are not available in NZ
What about this as an alternative?

Hey, felixx!

I can-and-do send 4' & 5' "hurricane" hinges to NZ all the time, no problems (except for the cost of shipping!) ... but I do see a lot of potential to the hinge you linked to! My only concern would be overall longevity of the polyurethane rubber after extended exposure to sunlight ... :thinking: ... looks easy enough to replace, though, in case of eventual failure. What would be the cost comparison?

Hi, Glenn!

One 4' Galley Lid HInge and one 5' Galley Lid Hinge plus S&H to NZ (via USPS Priority International ... about 6 days) will be $157.00 ... drop me an e-mail to [email protected] and I'll be happy to break it down for you ... if you include your complete mailing address, that'll make it easier if/when you are ready to order. As always, then ...
