@ALB I'd cut replacement hinges out of a single piece of 1/4 to 3/8" aluminum stock and drilled some lightening holes. Radius the hedges and polish them up. It would eliminate several pounds of weight up front. Those existing hinges are truly rough - and heavy. Aluminum is easy to work with and could be cut with a jig saw and metal cutting blade.

Yeah. I was signed up to do a welding class in our local community college this spring which included access to their brand new CNC plasma table. Sadly, school was cancelled.

Fabbing an Alu hinge shouldn't be an issue, it's access to a welder that I lack.
