Default Oil door hinges

I am looking for the hinges that attach inside and up from seam of the door.
I don't know the terminalogy or brand. Have seen them on some Cessnas.
I don't care for the seam showing the hinge line that Van suggests useing.

Recently someone was selling them on EBAY in the kit section but I do not see them today.

Try McMaster-Carr, p/n 11205A35. I think I got that off of Dan's site.

Default Hidden Hinges

Check this link. http://www.guden.com/display-chh.asp...query=nhal9291

These are light hidden hinges that are quick and easy to install. Couple these with some hidden Hartwell latches and you've got a completely flush mounted oil door.

I'm all for innovation, but that "justrvparts" hinge is $40. Looks like he took a section of regular hinge, replaced one hinge loop with a spring, and bent some .032 sheet to just the right shape. Cost of materials about $2.

I think if you search the archives here, a number of people offered examples of how they made ones just like Dave suggests. Andy Karmy was one. (I don't have time to do the search right now but I remember it from early in 2005. I'll try to find it later and post it.)

Here's a link to the page on Andy's website where he did this.
