Where do you source these without needing a lottery win?

This looks most like what we have fitted but seeing as a few are tatty I would like half a dozen or so but not at this price Hinge (2 Piece)

The picture looks like the sort of thing they use on caravans, where the centre pin seize, you will have to have a hunt around.

You may find something here, if not you could adapt hinges to suit possibly? Hinges | Page 1 | IronmongeryDirect

Yes I thought about using butt hinges if I can't get the originals a lot cheaper, its ridiculous the amount of markup when its go motorhome related to it. May be possible to turn some new pins up for originals but there are some odd ones in already, could replace everything with butt hinges for the cost of a couple of originals haha
 
What I did!

Hi, I had a problem with the same hinges and resolved it without replacing them.
I live about 15 minutes from O'Learys but they did not stock them. (At the time, may do now?)
I removed the hinges, put them in a vice, stripped them down, this may need some force but
avoid using a hammer or you may bend the pin, unless you need to straighten it.
I cleaned them with a wire brush and went over the pins with emery paper until I got a very
smooth surface then I put them back together. Lubricate them regularly with silicone spray.
So far it has worked well and all it cost was time and elbow grease.

Hope this is of some use, it's worth a try! Good luck!

I am in Hull this weekend and we were going to nip I’m to O’Learys but they were shut by the time we thought of them, there is another we have been told about over the bridge in Grimsby (Magnum) but when we checked web site the were £52 each.

The one that seized was really solid but son in law got it apart in the end, he ran a 6mm drill down the hinge pin hole and that makes it a lose fit so will work fine until I decide a long term sort.

I am trying to think of how to fit the locker doors and wheel arches without hinges, not sure yet but I am thinking some sort of Zeus fastener/quick release catches along with the locks is the way to go on the smaller door but leave hinges on gas locker and garage. Going to see what’s available in kit car suppliers and the like, maybe boat as well.
