I have two different rear hinges:

Notice the left one (SWB rear) is taller than the right one of unknown origin.

But they pivot on the same plain.

Interesting.

Yeah, that's a big part of it. There I admit it.

Can you measure the height, please? The shorter could be a front one.

I'm having a little trouble following this Garnet.
The short one is tall, while remaining shorter than the tall one, which is still pretty short in my book. :ugeek:

Well, overall, the short one is as tall as the tall one, but only as it pivots, but after that it doesn't reach the same heights as the taller one. If that helps, you need more help than I thought can provide. :?

I would provide more insight but I need to pee, but that Depends. :oops:

It seems the 68mm would be closest fit to mine. My front one is only 48mm so you must have two different rears or they are from different bikes.

Sent you a PM to close the deal.
