Xbox laptop hinges

Post by tomas02 »

Hi,
I'm currently building a xbox laptop and need some hinges.
Only good ones I can find are from mcmaster carr but they dot ship to new Zealand :(
Was wondering if there was anyone here in the USA that would let me send them to their house if they sent them to me??
Or if you know of other hinges that ate available in new Zealand or Australia?
Cheers Tomas
