So how can this be adjusted- the hinges were replaced by Tangerine Racing a couple years ago with the aftermarket JWest ones. i dont remember that happening thought until after i got the car back from paint. probably only need about a 1/8” shift backward.

Having just installed the JWest replacement hinge kit, I can see how this could have happened. I followed the JWest instructions to a T ( they are posted on his web site ). After removing the OEM brackets, I attached the trunk hinges to the JWest brackets. Then with the trunk centered and closed marked the new holes, carefully keeping the bracket at the correct angle ( very important step)
Bolted both sides up and came out perfect Post a picture of your bracket so we can see how it’s positioned |
