Here are some photos of the hinge itself. It's very simple yet effective. I tried many forms of exotic hinges from all sorts of cars like the Lotus Exige, and other types, but this ht wasn't ever designed with a hinge in mind so none of them would work. The idea for a thin yet flexible hinge came to me one day so I tried it out and it's worked great so far. This is my first prototype. I am making a longer one which will allow for more stability when I get back into town (on vacation at the moment).
