Hello, Heiki ~ 8)

Edit: This picture reflects the OLD HINGE not the new hinge.

You can find Grants explanation of his NEW and IMPROVED!!!
"Better-Than-Hurricane" Leak proof Galley Lid Hinge here.


Just for your information if you want to find the above links
and more on Grant's hinge you can always go to the sticky
Under Teardrop Construction Tips & Techniques on the forum
"Hurricane Hinge, Hatch, Struts, Seals, Doors START HERE"
Look under > "Buy New and Improved Hurricane hinge"

I've got one standing by to be used on the KIT I'm rebuilding. I suppose you would like me to take a picture or two of it. ;)

Only one problem Steve. That's not the hinge that Finn is asking about. I believe he's asking about the 'Better than The Hurricane Hinge' hinge. But like some have said. "What do I know?" :thinking:

Gage:

Your observation is correct ... I made a mistake on my original posting of Grants picture. Thank you for pointing out the obvious mistake.


Sorry Heiki ~ :oops:
Will edit the original post to reflect the picture is the old hinge.
