Reverse hinges
michaelodonnell500:
I've just finished a trial fit of reverse hinges for my bootlid. The hinges are homemade from mild steel and will eventually be painted along with the bootlid.
There's a bit more work to do as I'll need to link up an opening mechanism. I want to make something with a fully closed position and a slightly open position. Both lockable. Haven't fully worked that one out yet but I'll keep you posted!
Here are some pics

Treasure chest?
Thank you for the flattering description my garage is not often described so politely!

I like this :thumbup. Seems it's easier to work on the engine this way. Very much like the Fiat 600.

I'm not old, but even I get a bad back leaning over the bootlid for too long.
I took a trip to the scrap yard today and found some bonnet catches and pins. Renault clio seemed had the type I was looking for.

4 pins and 2 catches. I'll sketch my plan so it makes a bit more sense.
