I think this will make a nice addition to the hinge assortment.  Nice that they cut out the notch on the bottom so the hinges can
make a 90 degree angle.

Yeah, I never got around to making adjustments to my Ldraw version, either.  Interesting what they did to the rear end of the

BTW, Terry, hows that voting page coming along?  Get well (at least well enough to organize parts :-)
