Hi I'm looking for a replacement Gas Locker Hinge for a Castleton Roberta.
I tried making a replacement in acrylic which worked quite well but, as half-expected, it was really too brittle so sheared after a few openings.
It's a bit of a funny one in that the connection to the locker cover is using two bolts, but the connection to the main locker is via a single nylon/plastic/... bolt with a knurl knob to hold it place - see pictures ...   
If anyone has/know where I might get hold of one, or suggestions as to how to make one. I would be most grateful.
Regards
SteveTR |

Thank you very much for your suggestion - I googled 'caravan window latches' (admittedly with quite a bit of pessimism) and the third site on the hit list had them in stock! (albeit in black) ...
