<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 397968, member: 5833"]Not sure I'm correctly following which holes are which, so may just be repeating your idea. The small holes symmetrically placed at the sides I think would have accommodated the pin of a hinge mechanism. The larger, asymmetrically placed holes were for attaching to the larger body of whatever & something about the shape of the thing required the asymmetry. Maybe the flange allowed the other piece (my hypothesis would make this the fixed side) to stay up when open rather than snapping back down on its own?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
