Careful tinning, sweat it on, with the rivets , Tipex in stratigic locations to ensure the hinges are not soldered up. Bingo, that worked.

Then the hard part, onto the tender front, spacers under the hinges, then heat sinks, and Buddhist chants. Fark, it was a wee bit of a run under the door, a careful heat creep to the problem spot and it freed. YAY! Clean up and I was chuffed pink. The latch pivot is done, a wee bit of work to complete the latch arm and bingo. However the nightmare will come again when I try to assemble the hole tender tank.

Thanks.
I did not make the hinges, but I might if I was not still a working lad.
They came from Knupfer Germany.
I have seen some where how to make little hinges but I cannot recall where ? I am going to make little hinge straps for the tender tank filler.

A wee bit of sawing here and there and a file here and there and the tender tank is getting very close to braze and soldering up.

It has it's moments, however it is now ready to soft solder to the tender tank top.

Some lovely work there! Soft soldering a bit different to brazing steel with brass isn’t it!
