Hinges for rear cover

[fordsbyjay]

Awhile back there was a thread about hinges for the rear box cover(?) but I can't seem to find it. I am looking for suggestions here. My car originally had some hardware hinges at the back of the box but when I hit a bump (at speed) the rear cover flipped up and the wind darn near ripped the cover right off. It did manage to break the holes and and the fiberglass in the corners.

Give Jim at Wintec Fabrication a call. I'm betting he can help you out with something. If he doesn't have something, he'll be able to point you in the right direction.

The hinges they used for the Total fiberglass cover -

Get ahold of Jim at Wintec he was the man at Total.They had a chincy hinge and at the end they had a nice heavy duty one.He was the driving force 99% of there products.

Here is what I think is a great idea because of the rounded front getting it to hinge right. This is andymenons bucket a link to his pics.trunk hinge

That is the one I was thinking about thanks. I built GAB's setup for my wooden cover but was not happy with "MY" quality in them. LOL. There is a few other good ideas posted here so I will think about them as well. I also checked out Jims website earlier but it was too late for me to call today.

I should have pointed out I don't want anything I have to fibreglass on or in other words too much work. LOl.
