C'mon admit it - youre building a dash and need them for the glove box, right?

you could try a hingemaker? take a boot hinge in as a sample and say "i want some of these but smaller"???

OR take one to a hardware shop and have a poke around. try all the british parts websites or the big ones over here (karkraft, brickworx, northern mini spares) to see if you can find what you're looking for

A "hinge maker"?!!!! What are we in Victorian England? Is he next to the candlestick maker and the gin house?

Try Moss International in england,
A lot of british sports cars (early MG's etc) had those type of hinges in strange places. Austin A30's and cars like that could be possible sources.
