Earlier today while building, i noticed we had 2 differently sized hinges. The first is approximately 1.5 inches wide (lets call this one hinge A) , and the second is 1.2-1.3 inches wide (hinge B) . hinge A lines up perfectly with the holes in a standard vex c- channel, while hinge B does not, thus presenting slight issues with our design. When i checked the online store, the hinge is described to be 1.3 inches long, like hinge B, but is depicted similarly to hinge A. the hinges in my possession have a distinct difference from one another, but the online store makes me question which one ( A or B) i will be buying.
If anyone has further knowledge on this topic, i would greatly apprecciate your input
I don’t have the parts near me at the moment, I will try to remember to check sizes tomorrow…
But I do know that we have two distinctively different hinge styles. I can’t remember if they are different sizes, but they are very different types of metal. I have no idea at what point we got different types of hinges, so many parts come and go…but I do know for sure they are VEX parts.
There are definitely two different sizes but the ones I’ve got in the past few seasons are the wider style. I actually much prefer the older ones because they can be cut in half without becoming really wobbly and they are more compact.
