Source for pivot hinge

Does anyone know where I could buy these ? It is off a roof light on a greenhouse renovation. G

Having done a bit of search, I've not come across a direct replacement.
I'd be tempted to start with a heavy duty corner plate and weld on a short length of iron water pipe.
Maybe getting the parts galvanised for long life.

If you have the old ones and they are broken, a specialist welder would be able to weld cast iron which is what I presume they are made of.
If you are short of the pins, they should be relatively easy to fabricate or get a local blacksmith to help - they are still out there if you look.

Thanks for the reply. I am helping my brother search for these and I have come to a similar conclusion. I think
some of these items were made locally as one offs, so that maybe the best way. Thanks Geoff

fairly sure your pic shows a modified small trailer side hinge

Hi Cedarwood
Thanks for that. A really good suggestion. I have found the pinions with that search but not the hinges. Do you know who may have them. Thanks
