Don't need an angle grinder.  A hacksaw will do the job just as well and costs a whole lot less.

This is true, but the grinder's way more fun!

What's the spacing of the bolt holes and how wide is the hinge when laid open?  Might have a few ideas for sources.

There are five bolt holes and the distance between them is 5-9/16". And when open the hinges are two inches wide.

With that grinder, be sure to pick of a pair of these too.



Makes em much for pleasant to work with  :)

If you spray it, hit it with a little steel wool first, then a quick coat of primer, then the black. That should hold up the best, though it sounds like it won't get abused that badly.

I did find this, but it's crazy expensive.

I recently cut up the drums to a washer and dryer to make myself a firepit using an angle grinder.  Man was that loud!  The drums amplified it, too.  You could hear it hundreds of yards away.

@dharris:  It's an odd spacing.  your best bet will be to find hinges with no holes in the leaves and drill them yourself to match the panel bolts. 

a real hardware store like Ace will be able to order no holes hinges, or you can order from mcmaster carr.
