I wish I could just tell you a certain hinge…I made everything with the exception of the pivot pin, which is a solid pushrod from an early 392 hemi….used it so I would be able to drill and tap for the pivot point.
The rest is just trial and error to get the geometry correct, geometry was not one of my strong suits in school. I even made shims to tighten everything up, when it gets to extended length, it doesn’t take much to have too much play.
If you have time and access to a good salvage yard, it would most likely be easier….
If I can find the progress picture, I’ll send it to you
