Default ? Pat 12 Door Hinge & Spring Paint ?

OK I’ve got questions:

What do the hinges of at Pattern 12 look like when they are not bent?

It would appear that the top and bottom door hinges could be the same, but all four of mine have completely different shapes.

How much space is there between the door and the door post?

Was there any sort of door gasket?

Next area

What have people used (successfully) to repaint the springs?

I had to disassemble mine because of rust between the leafs, some leafs look like they may have been painted with a thin OB. Others look more like they had been greased with a blackish coating.

I’m thinking of repainting with POR-15.
