"Bill Noble" wrote in message I''m still searching
all over for some way to make the 4 ft long curl on the
end of some .040 stainless to form a hood hinge for my 36 cadillac - it
puzzles me to no end that this thing could be made in 1936 and no one I've
contacted has a clue how to make it today - looks like either a roll mill
or hammer mill job to me - no this is not a hinge with a pin, it is a
typical interlocking spiral car hood hinge.

any clues?

Yes. Call my dad. He rolled his out on the Pexto machine and still has the
dies.
