Much of the running gear of the Zele is Fiat, and rumors abound of the hinges being Fiat based as well but research and council with Fiat experts has not found a match there. I'm broadening my search in hopes that someone somewhere will possibly have a clue.
CNC looks more and more like the way these may have to appear!

A clue as to the vehicle's country of origin might help.

Looking for a match for the hinges I have pictured. Early Mini hinges look real close but are a couple inches longer than what I'm looking for. Hours and hours online have yielded a lot of 'pretty close' matches but none as I need.
Chuck from MiniMania suggested posting on here hoping that a renowned hingeologist might see then and make the world sane again
Any help, recommendation, or possible direction to search would be very much appreciated.
