Where to buy plastic hinges for Galley door??

It's been a while since I've been on here, took a long break (Been Out Paragliding). Now I'm back and trying to get the trailer fixed and ready to go on a 12 day road trip at the end of the year. One of my fixes is to make a new galley door (old one leaked like an open faucet :cry: ) with the leak the door warped and sagged in many places. It wasn't the hurricane hinge that leaked it was just poor craftsmenship on my part. :(

Question: I want to use a plastic hinge instead of the hurricane. Where do you buy these things. Can anyone give me a website?

Oh yeah one more question, where do you get the 3/4 black plastic "U" channel molding for edging.


Thanks

Benzie

Remember that you want the "HARSH ENVIRONMENT" plastic hinge. (I got mine on ebay)

For sure wouldn't go any other way. Do you remember how much you paid for your hinge?

From this seller...I bought some other things at the same time so shipping cost was not an issue:
