Just mocked it up. Not as succsesful as I had hoped. Need to get the hinge point higher, right up under the grp in front of the bonnet. I might try mounting these hinges on the rear bulkhead by the master cylinder and washer bottle next.
Here tis closed....[IMG][/IMG]

And here open...the front of the bonnet touches. Not enough rise in the front edge.

A shortfall of about 30mm. You cant bring the pivot point 30 mm higher as that would bring the pivot point outside the body.[IMG][/IMG]
