I just did some googling and found some other style hinges and they're definitely NOT bearings. This morning right before I posted my "detent" comment above, I was picturing the two halves set up as detents with a bolt, spring and nut. The first few pics I found were of brass hinges, with detents (not round but rectangular), spring, bolt and nut. Almost identical to what I pictured. It's amazing what comes to my mind at work when taking a break with my e-cig looking out the back window at the parking lot. That's also where I solve my programming strategies.
Anyway, I'm going to need at least 50 rivets (I'll lose, drop or screw up a couple at least) so rather than take yours, where did you get them and I'll just buy a bag. Thanks for the offer tho!
As to the indents on the other half, I'll just hit them with a ball nose end mill. I'll have some milling to do on them anyway.
BTW, the photos are just both sides of the same one. I have two of the same ones here but the other is in pretty bad shape and wouldn't photo well.
