I've been making half-hearted efforts to find a replacement hinge for the forward deck hatch for my 1979 Oday 23. But I noticed that the non-broken hinge is now also about to break, so I've been stepping up my efforts. I checked with Rudy at D&R, and he tells me that he doesn't have the direct replacements anymore; the shop in Maine he bought them from broke the mold and is not interested in recreating it.
So I'm fishing around to see if anyone else has been able to find direct replacements with a hole pattern that matches the OEM. I'd greatly prefer not to have to fill and drill if I can avoid it.
