Anyone have a modern day source for the same high quality/heavy duty sofa bed hinge hardware that was used on the 1980 Westy sofa beds? I have a project going and am totally missing these hinges. Worried the stuff i see online looks too flimsy. The originals were great.

These looked interesting. I know nothing about them.

Check the Samba classifieds? All kinds of stuff pops up on there…

Not sure if you're looking for the early version bench hinges that just fold forward, or, if you're looking for the westy bench bed hinges.

If the latter, they are usually referred to as "Rock and Roll" bed/hinges.
I just did a quicky google search, and would hafta agree that they do appear to be wimpy, at least the reproductions outta the UK..

Oh, then there is the late model passenger bench/bed. Not sure what to reference there for a google search. Maybe "late model vanagon passenger van bench/bed hinges"?
