All metal C clamp ?

i would like the hinge or hinge to function again so i dont have to use a C Clamp.

Find a small metal door hinge that will fit. Grind off old hinges. Drill pilot holes, then use a tap to thread the holes to accept screws.

that is what i was thinking, i was not sure if there was any method to alignment with the old hinge.

Try Marine tex? http://www.marinetex.com

I"ve used it on all kinds of fixes just like that.

Maine text will burn with the heat.

Use 4 C clamps to squeeze the mold in position before you drill your pilot holes
