Default Can I ask

What size and where to find hinges

small enough to use on the hood of my Hasbro Willy's

I went Micheal's Crafts, and looked at doll house hinges and they way too big

and I looked online on Ebay and there is a bunch of different sizes, not sure of there quailty

Is there a place that sells hinges for R/C's and Models

and what size is needed

I make mine out of brass, replacing the plastic imprint at the center of the hood.

Bitter End

your pictures did not post

how do make them that small

I took the hood off my Jeep, and looked at the hinge detail

and they look miniature too me, or very small

I have seen a lot of builds using, brass hinges and looks like they didn't have too widen the slot for the Hinges

Too much, and they look good and the hood still fits right
