Yes please
I need some micro hinges as tiny as possible,
the flaps need to be a maximum of 4mm in length depth doesn't matter I can trim them down. However the 'pin' needs to be as tiny and as unobtrusive as possible. I did make 4 with scraps of photoetch brass sheet, but they were just too flimsy and twisted in use.
SO can anyone suggest a supplier of something so small??

Brian60,
Some of the model aircraft have some miniature hinges for the ailerons', rudder etc.
Worth having a look at a few those sites.
