Engine hatch hinge replacement?

1991 Cafe Racer. Need new engine hatch hinges. Any ideas who made these / where to find them?

Old thread
Bullet Hatch Hinge

Might try sending a PM to Carter38 and check with him or maybe Lipship.

Those are the heavy chromed brass style. Find a local re-chroming shop. They can chemical clean and re-chrome for a very reasonable cost. That's what I did on my 20 years ago and they came out better than new.

Hatch hinges

I have these. The hinge on the right has been counter sinked as you can see.

Yep,. that looks like them.
I dropped mine off at a machine shop this morning to see if they can true them up.
Are you selling that pair? If so, how much?
