I worked with a fellow down here in Houston, to developer a stainless steel replacement hinge. Send me a note if you want more info and I'll get you in touch with the right person.

Hi Ken; Working a 4-12 shift this week or I would have replied sooner. Right on about visiting other web sites, lists etc. Always finding out something new. I've got alot of valuable info. here. Just yesterday found out about a vintage site that Hunter also has. I'm gonna check it out. I've also visited Aluminum Fever and found out and viewed alot of different trailers there,inc. other links. not only A.S.
As far as my door hinges go, if you go to my exterior album and view the pic that has a right side shot partially shined, you can get a good look at my hinges. They arn't cast but strap steel and riveted to the super structsure inside. I know cause I had to remove inside skin to do some repairs as seen in pics. This leads me to believe that they are original maybe? The skin of the door within a door was replaced as described in the pic. Would like to view the SS hinges though.
