[GrahamRounce]

Hi all,
Am I lucky enough for someone to know if these hinges have a name?
Thanks,

@ Doc Bob .. Hi - before posting here, I did a lot of scrolling on ebay, after 'case hinge' , but it still lists every possible kind of hinge, as alibaba seems to. That's why I thought to narrow it down by using the right name, if it had one!
I'll try "suitcase hinge". Thanks.

It has one! There in capital letters; "Cheney"

@ Jacob - sorry, I was eating, but... ok, gottit, fantastic, thanks! Or, in capitals, THANKS!

@ Jacob: I'm sorry to report that Abbey England which I initially thought was brilliant, faffed me about creating an account and refusing to accept my first ten password choices, then told me the postage for 4 hinges was 4.50 (ok, bearable, just about), THEN told me there was a minimum order of £20 and I should make some more purchases... Obviously I didn't.
Oh, it was all plus vat, too.
Sorry, Jacob, I still appreciate your effort!

You need a trade heading (just stick "Design" after your name) and tell the you are looking for samples for a project. You might get them FOC!

Oh. Cough. I've already "Contacted Us" in no uncertain terms.

Try flightcase hinge as well.

@ Ollie: Ok, ta, good idea.

I suppose I could also look on Freecycle for a suitcase to take the hinges from, if they're reuseable.
I wonder why they're such a rarity..

Youve all got it wrong!
That ones called a broken hinge

 

[GrahamRounce]

Yes, well, thank-you. Silly me, I was looking for a joined-up one

 

[Phill05]

The name is on the broken one "Cheney" and can be found on e-bay

 

[GrahamRounce]

Yes, but only old crappy-looking ones.

Abbey England have the new, exact, correct hole-spacing, same thing, but their economic model prevents them selling it to me : (

The only other decent source I've seen in much googling is Leffler Leather in Australia, who I admit I haven't contacted yet! (I'm practicing smooching/grovelling as we speak!)
