I found these new hinges amongst some items in my storage area.
The hinges are approx 5 inches long overall.One threaded stud in the short section, two threaded studs in the longer section.
At first I thought they might have been Austin A35 boot hinges but they are not.
Any clues.?

Look like Herald or early Spitfire bootlid hinges Smile

(but I've not checked the dimensions)

Are they both the same and not handed as the Austin A30/A35 ones are, if so they are probably hinges from a car that has a straight hinge line to it's boot Very Happy

Definitely Triumph - used on Herald and Vitesse, and I believe on TR3s too.
