Door hinges
There is a new lot of door hinges in Mc Farlanes catalogue. There suggested retail prices are very high [what the heck are they smoken] while the discounted prices are still over the top. But it’s another alternative if you are needy.
Re: Door hinges
Don’t sweat the price, because those hinges are for the 172, not the 170. Wrong p/n. The door half might fit (?), but the fuselage half is the 172 tab type, not the 170 fold-under type.
My opinion only, but I don’t think the price ($455) is that bad considering they’re new, and McFarlane stuff is good. I hope they get around to making a hinge for the 170.

Re: Door hinges
They requested (and received) info, pics and other details from me on the 170 hinges, so they are definitely contemplating making them.
