catalac hinges

[ebo]

Hi folks,
I need to replace some black plastic(poly carbonate?) strap hinges. The originals circa 1983 are about 180mm overall, with three c/sunk 5mm holes on each leg. Can any body tell me of a supplier.
I've searched ebay and the internet to no avail.

thanks,

ebo

We've replaced most of ours with Plastimo stainless ones but you could ask John Lack.

Pro-tek do a wide variety of stainless hinges, clasps and other goodies in stainless, may have something suitable.

we have swapped hinges round as if the pins are punched out you can make 1 good hinge out of 2 then replaced the broken ones with some ss hinges from chandlery if you look there are some ss straps where
the hole line up to with in a mm and the ss hinges are much better than the orriginals

Thanks very much for the info.
I've already done the swapping bit, perhaps it's time to bite the bullet and change the lot!!!
SWMBO could'nt put up with odd hinges. `
