Do you mean the ones in the doors or the ones in the dash - a photo or sketch or description might help...

these little hinges live behind the front grill in the plenum and hinge the fresh air flaps at the front

I think you'll have to scour the wreckers. These are not listed in the CIP1.com website interior parts, and they're not in the West Coast Metric catalogue, so I guess they're not being made new. You might get rich making repos out of billet aluminium and selling to other Bay owners, who knows...
