About a year and a half ago, my car's left front door hinge was broken. It would have been to expensive to buy a replacement, so one of my friend made a new from stainless. It had been working perfectly since then.
I talked about it here:

Now he asked me, if I can measure the lower part of the hinge, but I cannot, because it is impossible to make perfect measurements now, that the door is on its place. Can anyone help?
I know, that a few vendor have new ones in the USA, but in Europe, it is a bit more difficult. If someone could help, maybe this rare part will be more frequent.

I need the lower part's measurements on this picture:

Yes, they do it for 230$. We could do it for 50$ + shipping.

$50 is a STEAL for that stainless STEEL part!

You dont need a stainless door hinge though.
Id rather it out of mild steel in regards to the material properties being better suited for a "structural" piece like this.

A couple years ago he made me the top piece only (in mild steel, I don't want stainless. Also I don't think he had made a complete hinge at that point). But that single part itself was very well made, at least. I can't speak to the whole hinge listed above.
