I had a look at these, out of interest - I just love one line in the description

 

'The hinge is available in Left and Right handed doors, if you get the handing wrong the door will fall off. '

Yup, that pretty much sums it up

I just had a quick google and nothing remotely like these comes up.

I’d suggest either contacting whoever built your boat, or taking the one you have to an engineering firm and getting them to turn them for you - won’t be cheap though

Ditto. I’m wondering if the boat builder knocks them up himself.

Id call them a (weld on) bullet hinge-but a Rolls Royce version. Very nice ☺️

Agreed, and that’s why I’m wondering if the boat builder makes them himself. A unique touch on a quality shell perhaps.

Assuming eash hinge has a pin fixed to one side, could it not just be turned the other way up, putting the pin on the door, rather than the frame?

Well, yes it could. It would be odd but it would work.

It could also be called a loose pin, with the bit it fits into called a hinge

Gudgeon is also the correct term for the cup that a rudder sits in.

Or the top end of a con rod.

I've always called it the small end bearing. The gudgeon pin connects it to the piston.  Our US friends prefer the term wrist pin.

Yes, it is the small end bearing but as it’s connected to the piston by the Gudgeon pin doesn’t that also make it a Gudgeon?  Or are the holes in the pistons the Gudgeons?

Otherwise why not call the Gudgeon pin the small end bearing pin?

 

Just musing aloud

I think you could be correct there.

Thats unusual. Uually they have a steel pin and just a brass washer between the two parts. For example:

From https://www.weldonhinges.co.uk/bullet-hinges/60mm-steel-bullet-hinge/

 

I reckon your hinges may have been made by the boatbuilder rather than bought in. Not a big job to get some more turned up from brass rod if you know someone with a lathe.

 

Have you lost or broken one of yours?

If a standard diameter length of brass or bronze bar with correct size washer could be obtained then no machining would be necessary. Might be able to find small lengths available on E may fr hobby machinests rather than buying a full length.

Apart from the difference in metals, these also don’t appear to have a loose pin, not that I can see why that might be a disadvantage. It looks like the pintle is an interference push-fit into one half. Great find
