How much will this defective McFarlane hinge replacement REALLY cost the owner?
How much will this defective McFarlane hinge replacement REALLY cost the owner?
304 stainless weighs three times as much as 6061 or 7075 aluminum. BUT, a stainless hinge can be fabricated with less than half of the material thickness of the extruded hinge, so…
If you’re paranoid about the knuckles opening up, just dip braze them shut. Passivate. Done. And the fabrication cost is about one-tenth that of the extruded design.
