I am trying to make a custom tacklebox, but I am having trouble finding the hardware for the tray supports. I want to have at least 2 trays rise up from the inside of the box. Can anyone point me to somewhere I could find hardware for this?

Hardware
I'm guessing there's a site with a forum for fishing where your question will get responses. If I were doing it I'd pick up an old tackle box at an estate sale and remove the hardware.

Alternative suggestion
Instead of buying commercial tray-lifting hardware (a source for which I don't know), why not make the tray lifters out of wood? Just follow the pattern from an existing box, perhaps using brass or bronze pin bearings.That way, it would be a really-custom box.
Yes, I've thought about that, however, I don't want to have the excess wasted space that the wood hardware would take up. I'd rather have some nice metal hardware that could be thinner for this application.
The box I'm constructing isn't actually for fishing tackle and I'd like to keep it pretty compact.
