We tried the new hinges from Sand Diego Hardware (SDH) in place of the ones from West Marine.
The price difference was big. The quality was also large. The plating on the ones from SDH is not very good.
They both fit the same and the holes were the same.
It will be a decision to be made later. Because I have already spent the $$ for the WM ones, we will put them back on. They are much nicer.
We are hoping we can get the original ones re-plated. Because there are about 4-5 pair on board of the spring hinges it may be worth it to take them to the plating shop. They fit corectly and are not made any more. We will be checking it out.
