Are your "new" hinges reproduction? I have read a lot of bad reviews about them. I have never tried them to verify this, but with all of the compound bends and twists in the originals, I can imagine that it would be very difficult to reproduce them accurately. Do you have access to some originals that you can rebuild? If not, PM me. I have a box full of them.
