RE: Hinges on engine cover

["Eric J. Hennebury" <ehennebury@xxxx>]

Scot,
You do have to go from the inside of the car and remove the cover just underneath the window to get at the other hinge bolts. I had lost a stud off of my hinge as well. I had my rusted hinges sandblasted, and one of my machinist friends reattached the stud using "silver solder." I wasn't so sure this would hold up well, but it seems to be fine. I repainted the hinges with a rust inhibiting primer coat and a semi flat black top coat and they still look great 3 years later. Hope this helps.
