:huh: I would like to know if any aftermarket compony still sale perbent wire hinges.

Scale Dreams used to carry a couple of different sized ones. They are in the process of going out of business, but may still have the site up with a picture so you can get an idea of how to make your own.

Each application usually requires a different shape of wire hinge... so pre-bent wire dosn't really work that well. Why not bend your own? Pair of hands, wire cutters, needle nose plyers are all you need! :huh:

I use welding wire to make my hinges. I have also heard paper clips work, but the main thing is a fairly stiff wire, that wont bend just by the door opening and such. I use welding wire because, for it's size, it's really tuff, especially when cut into such small hinge size pieces.
