[FC] Fwd: Fw: Hinged Rampside engine cover

[Merv]

Hi Bill et al!

I would love a couple of pics of your way cool hinge!

I mounted my hinge in the GB so it tips to the front, then I discovered that 
it does not quite clear the spare tire.

Rod: The 10 bolts in the panel are all short dummy bolts w/the exception of
the 2 outside rear, which are thumb screws to hold the panel down tight
when closed. the hinges are forward w/the  mounting to the outside flat
areas on the panel and the panel covering the trans axel  and tranny.  Also
installed prop rod to hold the panel after removal of the thumb screws.
Found the prop rod at the local junk yard for 3.00. Hope this info helps.
Bill

Hi Corvanatics
    I have been asked by a member to do a article for the newsletter on
hinges and supports for Rampside engine covers. If you have converted your
cover please send a photo and a brief description of what type of hinge you
used and what sort of support. Please include your name and what town you
are from.
Thanks
