Hinges
I went after the stock hinge with my calipers and layed out the two parts. My hinge will function exactly like the original but will be slightly wider. the changes are as follows.
1 - Since I can't roll the top piece to make the tube for the pin I will buy tubing of appropriate size and weld the top tab to it.
2 - The pin I will use is stainless and 3/8" diameter rather than the original 5/16". It also has an external snapring to retain it instead of being crimped. The pin is from Mcmaster Carr and is only availiable in certain lengths. This is the reason why my hinge will be about 1/8" wider than stock.

Flat parts off the punch
Width difference
