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.

Nicely done Mark/Tim! I'm interested if you will make the kit. Easy access with the engine and if you like doing the rain tray removal every now and then.

yes please. 1 for me. Unless you'd be willing to post "here's how to do it yourself".
Either way - super cool mod. Nicely done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |

These take some fab to make right. But doing the work and shipping them is possible... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

One of my support tabs (that the lid attaches to) recently broke...... would the attachment method for this idea do WITHOUT the stock mount tabs??? Or does this mod REQUIRE that the stock supports be in place??
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Hoping to be lazy and avoiding a stock repair...... please reply. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I'm in. One of the worst parts of working on the engine is dealing with the limited space between the engine opening and the open hood.
