That is what I'd suspected, as for a while (not long before Centuri went out of business), Centuri was using more and more Estes parts and accessories. Here (see: http://www.spacemodeling.org/jimz/cen5330.htm ) are scans of the Centuri ALCM kit instructions, which include scanned "photocopy-type" pictures of the kit parts. Perhaps these might help enable hand-made, cast resin, or 3D printed duplicate hinges to be made.
