Domestic hob and sink Question

[Bazaboy66]

Is it possible to mod the brackets at all so I can get the left glass cover to come up slightly less to match the sink cover to get in line?

Can t you just slightly elongate the hole in the bracket.

Then use a washer to cover the slot..

That way you should be able to lift the left lid up a bit.

I did think about adding a thick slash back at the rear of both the hob and the sink so they both come up together in line.

It’s going to be a compromise or a clever bodge to rectify the placement that stops both panels coming up together.

I had a CAN unit with the same issue. Ended up rejecting it and sending it back to Vangear who replaced it with a Dometic with much more sturdy brackets, not like yours though.
Wondering if supply issues are affecting the factories......

If that’s Dometic / SMEV be careful with the brackets as any damage to the plating will allow them to rust (they are crap).
They also cost £40 each if you want to replace them.
You could remove the sink and put a stopper on the curved hinge under the sink surface where it will be out of sight.

I’m going to try some sort of stopper underneath. It’s a tricky one as the bracket goes into a closed area which isn’t easy accessible

Can you get hold of the rubber hinge cover that goes on the sink section and add it to the gas side?

Im not sure I understand what you mean. Can you elaborate as I’m intrigued into your idea.

That would bug me as well!

I know right!! My ocd is going mental with some of the bits I need to sort out. All will get sorted in the long run.

This is a domestic. It’s just the setting position of the hob sink unit not placed well originally and not a quality fault of the sink/hob. Just trying to resolve due to one side stopping on the panel and the other going through the window panel

Here’s a couple of photos of the Dometic hinges, be careful with your fingers…..they go off like a mouse trap!

Mine was the same, I always assumed the difference was due to the rubber seal on the sink lid hinge (the gas side doesn't get 1 for some reason)
