Check out this rad engine lid modification Tim did on a project today. Ended up being a really quick mod. The lid only comes off when it's up all the way, so it's really secure when it's latched. I'll take some pictures tomorrow.

QUOTE(McMark @ Jan 20 2016, 07:11 PM)  Check out this rad engine lid modification Tim did on a project today. Ended up being a really quick mod. The lid only comes off when it's up all the way, so it's really secure when it's latched. I'll take some pictures tomorrow. I slotted the hinge hole and use bicycle fork cams as bolts. Open the hood, swing the two cams to loosen the bolt and slide back. One person job. Will try to post pics when I get home. It also works to slot the hinge and loosen the bolts just a bit. Your idea is going to work more easily, but mine retains the pop up, which isn't that big a deal. I am gonna bet someone else has posted a similar idea. |
