[VAC] Re: continuous plastic hinges

["James Greene" <drgreene@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the make it yourself  idea, Garnett. That will work for the work
around I mentioned to Jon as a continuous hinge on the bottom of the revised
door. I'm afraid it won't work for Jon's application as I understand it. Our
60s trailers have an extruded plastic continuous hinge that is shaped like
two 1/2 " square "Us" back to back that are connected at the bottom of the
"U." One of the "Us" is inserted over the edge and stapled to the top half
of the door and the other is stapled to the bottom part. The hinge is where
the toe "Us" are joined. When the door is closed the hinge is at a right
angle. When the door is up the hinge is a 180 angle.
