I ended up making my own from steel. Used a set of calipers
to get all measurements and pulled the other hinge out to insure it was a very
close match. Took about 3 hrs to get the rough shape then about another 3 to 4
for clean up and paint. Used an air saw to cut the basic shape and bend the cut.
Cleaned it up with a 90 degree die grinder using 120 grit wheel. Used a belt
sander to make sure all cuts were 90s. I drilled all holes using a drill press.
The only part most can’t do is weld the bottom. It cost me about 6 bucks
for the metal. I happen to have all the fun toys so I did it and proud to say
its 1,000,000% MADE IN THE U.S.A.






P.S. there is a clip holding the bezel to the USB car slot behind
the camera image. Use a pick or tiny screwdriver to pop the oval thing out and
then pry down and out on the little front cover.





Pre weld

And yes it does work save me fom spending anothe $300 on new Like printer.
