Broken hinge Mac box

[65 Falcon]

anyone know where I can get a hinge for a old Mac box ? Mine is broken in half , other one is good . Is something like this available ? Thanks much appreciated

McMaster Carr for "piano hinge" You can get stainless, zinc plated or raw steel. Weld on or drilled for screws.

Ah shoot that’s not what I’m looking for , I’m not sure what my broken piece is called … I thought it was a hinge but clearly that’s not it lol .

google: "tool box lid supports"

Turn on image view, lots of options. Alas, probably none OEM? But your's are very basic, so a good size match is probably doable.

Buy two so you can fit them alike. You will probably need to drill new attachment holes.

looks like that one was welded at one time, no reason it couldn't be re welded properly . a bit pf a grind and a splash of paint & it'll work good .
but, yes a seacrh for lid support, lid stay , hinged support will return items
this looks close https://www.ebay.com/itm/233839107653?hash=item3671e59e45:g:uqgAAOSwNTZf6ram

Don't Mac Tools boxes have lifetime warranties? They replaced my slides at no charge on my Tech 1000 even though I was not the original purchaser.

Mac also sells them, but if you have two on your tool box I recommend swapping both so they will match.

Weld it up. A great excuse to buy a welder if you don’t have one.
