Ben Hur Rear Hinge

I promised someone that they could borrow a rear door hinge for a steel bodied Ben Hur to make a copy.

Yesterday while getting ready for the Memorial Day Parade. I went to one of my vehicles and found the hinge packaged on the front seat but not addressed.

Who out there did I promise this to and do you still want to borrow it?

I know this is old but couldd someone use a piece of pipe and weld a bolt to the side?

Sure... but where talking about restoring something back like they were intended to look not a wood wagon .

I was trying to think of an easier meathod then casting these. I know I used solid stock and drilled holes in it before then welded it to a bolt an got something that was very close to these for another project. Luckily the 3 trailers I am working on all have these still. I plan to machine the pins though soon

I talked to someone about casting but way to expensive this is Bar stock the right thickness hole drilled and threaded pretty simple .
