Default Need Gear Door Hinges

Hi Guys.
I have TamJets and FeiBao gear door hinges on 4 of my jets and need to replace them often because they break a lot. The TamJets and Fei Bao hinges are exactly a like as far as a foot print. I usually keep a spare supply of these on hand to make repairs as needed. I ordered a 20 pack of Tam's hinges from dreamworks and received something different than I expected. Tam's has a new hinge (I thought I was buying the same Tam hinges that I already have) and it is smaller. The mounting surface is smaller and won't allow you to screw the hinges into the door via the existing holes. The foot print should have been the same so you can just screw a new hinge into place. Fei Bao has a new hinge but it is much larger. I need to find some old style tam hinges. Skymaster hinges may be the same foot print as well but I have not seen these. I wish someone made these hinges out of aluminum.
Any help as to where I can find the older style hinges would be great.
Thanks!!

I ordered these a couple months ago from Airpower. The ones I got were black and are the same as the old Tamjets ones.
