These 2+1 rivets on the aluminium rod serve as a stop when the cover is pulled forward (and of course are responsible for the destroyed OEM's). Don't cut them off!

The two-sided cut-out is marked in red in the following picture. Similiar, but much smaller, on my 2nd bracket.

As stated before, Rob's design (@mopedmaster) covers all aspect's of the functionality as well as stability.

The latter is not given in your current design!

If you would like to just purchase the hinges, they are available on Treatstock (internationally):

If you would like to purchase the 3D model and print the hinges yourself (or have them made from metal/other materials), it is available on Cults3D:
