Xbox 360 laptop friction hinges.

Post by ssmith43654 »

Hello,

I was looking for some friction hinges for my xbox 360 laptop project.

I was thinking of getting some laptop hinges from ebay that came of a 17" or up screen.
But all the ones on ebay look so small and fidly to put on the xbox laptop.

I believe ben heck uses McMaster Carr 16 pound friction hinges (Is this correct)?

And if so, can I get those hinges shipped to the United Kingdom where I live (I filled in the form and it seemed to accept my putting uk in but I am not sure which shipping method to choose: Ground, Next Day Air, or other)?

If I can't get them in the UK then where can I get some strong friction hinges like ben heck uses?

:?: - :( - :idea: :arrow: - :D :lol:

Thanks!
