[C320-list] Gemlux friction hinge(s) for port locker cover

[kskis at aol.com]

I love the gemlux hinges and use them for my stern lockers.  I also use them for my fridge.  However, for port locker I went with gas shocks because I didn't trust my skill set to end up with a nice clean look.  Neil Harmony #963.

I wonder if the continuous hinge on most 320's could have sections cut out, and replaced with 2 or 3  of the Gemlux friction hinges. The remaining sections of continuous hinge would provide support for lateral and shear loads, while the Gemlux hinges would provide the desired hold-open and slo-close function.
