Were they similar to the hinges in the RTF Estes ALCM? While the RTF one was smaller (it used 13 mm mini motors), the hinge mechanisms might be otherwise essentially the same. The RTF one is fairly easy to find on eBay (I even saw an unopened Centuri ALCM kit on there today, for ~$129). That's definitely pricey, and I'd hate to open such a classic old kit just for that, but they can be found nevertheless.
