Stephen; as I replied to you by email, I have the cast aluminum hinge parts, but they are not in finished condition. If you have the time and inclination to finish them, or have a buddy or hangar-mate or EAA connection, the parts are not difficult to finish. If you are looking for steel fabrications like what are shown in the plans, I can't help.

Hi this was my solution to hinges, I cut from a piece of 2 x 2 tubing. made a jig for the drill press both ends and the screw holes are drilled the same distance from the corner.

when you put the hinges on off set the last set in the opposite direction
