Looking for a 4 inch Brass Hinge... HELP!!

[PeteV]

I could use your help. I'm looking for Brass Hinges (one of mine broke) and I can't seem to find ones Big enough. The long dimension of the Hinge is 4 inches. I seem to find them with a max length of 3 inches.

The hinge is used for the seats on an Old "Finest Kind" boat. I've been searching for months and would appreciate any leads. I've done all the Hardware stores & places like West Marine & Boat US. I've even tried some of the links in "Wooden Boat" magazine but just can't seem to find them.

The attached pic shows one of the Old hinges. Thank you.
