Re: 1929 Packard 640 hood hinge needed

I am still looking for a center hood hinge. I do not expect an original by any means, but something that will function and look presentable. I can't seem to find a continuous hinge narrow enough that also has a center pin that is of sufficient diameter.

I expect to have to buy an equivalent of some kind and cut it down to size. Normal suppliers (Grainger, et al) have plenty of hinges, but all have center pins much too small to work.

Can anyone suggest a source/procedure to buy or fabricate one?
