I found a source for stainless steel hinges that go above the engine lid. Installed them a few days ago. Their final cost gave me the vapors, but my bus is now much, much faster now (in my dreams, anyway).

Hinges actually do get knackered over 50+ years, and (since I live in California) mine were still fully functional, but they were not stainless steel.

Are they off the shelf or made for you?

Off the shelf from an odd merchant of whom I know little about. The red type above is a hyperlink to it.

This is a great product by the looks of it, I'm gonna buy a pair. Anyone else want a pair and save on the shipping? They have a small limited range of other products that look pretty cool, anyone else in?

Agreed. About three times too much, but they’re stainless! Whether they’re useful or practical is not my department.
