Bob,
Are you going to use hinge pin wire for the hinge pivot? If so how are you going to terminate the ends to keep them from sliding out? From my experience working in aircraft I know this can be a real bitch unless you have room at the ends to bow them.
The extension bits, I know also from experience that the small sizes you will need would probably be around # 30 or # 40.
You have tweaked my idea bush from a brain fart into a creative mode. Please keep us advised on your work in this matter..
Thanx,
George II

The hinge will only 1/4" thick when it's close,, that make the hinge parts only 1/8" thick, and to drill a 1/16" down the center ,well it's like making clock parts and then keeping the hole true for long 1 1/4" long, well , it may not be worth it.. but I do like a challenge...now and then,,, LOL
