Need to order some replacement friction hinges, as the plastic friction pad
has split on some.
I've measured both types and have the dimensions, but the width is only
15mm (modern ones seem to be 17mm and the groove in the frame is 16.5mm!).

Screwfix have some, e.g.

Does any one know how wide these are please?

The head of a pin will hold more angels if
it's been flattened with an angel-grinder.

"Fits 13mm cavity" it says on the page

oops! - thanks. I'd seen the '13' and just assumed it to be stack.

Pity - too narrow and thus won't take the load. I'll carry on looking
elsewhere, althought that'll cost more :-(
