A question for folks. I'm making these hinges and wondering what kind of clearance do I need between each one of them? I figure you need to allow for a little movement, paint and the ability to get some lube in there. What clearance is typical on each side of the center hinge ( 1/16, 1/32, less, more)?

Also wondering if they need to be welded right under the AN3 bolt area? welding here will complicate things for tight clearances. Any thoughts, any pictures, any insight, thanks.
