Half x titanium replacement hinge

Here's my Project.

My first X-Metal

Half-X Carbon 12-945


- Lenses shot
- Broken Hinge
- No Earsocks
- No Nose Pads
- Had to sand down a 1,00mm Allen Key to 0,90mm to open the setscrews.
(To find me a 0.035" Allen Key would have taken to long.)

I love it and wouldn't want it any other way.

I checked, neither Oakley, Linegear, Seek, Zone, Walleva, Galaxy or Shade is selling Rubber for Half-X.
@Linegear Japan @Seek Optics @Zone Optics @Galaxy Lenses @Shade Station do any of you have Rubber or have plans to produce any for Half-X in the near future?
Earsocks don't have to be the exact original shape, they just have to be at least 68 - 70mm long like for a Wire Frame with the thinner Part of the Temples about 2 - 2,5mm. Availability before Style.
Nosepads, I have no idea if there's a substitute to OEM. If so please share it with me.

If any of you guy's have OEM Rubber or Spring Hinges for sale please contact me.
Donation or trades for German Chocolate are also welcome.
Juliet earsocks kind of work at a push. Nose bombs I have a feeling original half jacket nose bombs work (not exactly the same as oem but do the job)
