Cotreker Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 My passenger side hinge has been broken a few months until taking on the job yesterday. Thanks to Brad Dadies & RandyA write up's I was able to take this project on. This was a one person job and did take every bit of 5 hours, might have been able to faster but I used a plate of stainless because that is what I had and I figured it needed to be strong. I now need to replace my supply of saw blades and drill bits. So since this is a custom fab job I changed up the design. I bolted my plate to the hinge arm with 2 grade 8 bolts 1/4" and pop riveted the bracket to the hood with 3/16" 1/4"- 3/8" range (12 rivets). From now on I am opening and closing my hood slowly and under control; these things are heavy. I kept my cardboard template so making the second one should go faster, pretty sure the drivers side will go sooner than later; best to do before it gets cracked. Will load a picture later if there is any interest.

Brad & Jacolyn Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Dennis I only did one side of mine and will not tackle the other side unless it fails.
