Bonnet Hinge Idea! 340

Due to moving my radiator during my 16valve conversion the old bonnet hinges will no longer work, I was going to go ahead and make a 'normal' opening bonnet by hinging it at the bulkhead with some sort of step up hinges.

But before I do, has anyone done this before? :)

Cheers, Jay. 340pw

Interested in this aswell! Have looked at some bonnet hinges but never found one that would do the job without to much modifing.

why have you moved your radiator? A 340 rad is wafer thin and theres nothing about an f7 conversion that would suggest it needs moving from its original location

also ive just fitted a (cheap and temporary) 340 rad to me 360glt and i bet i can get an intercooler between it and the hInge assy without issue

I am contemplating changing the hinges and 986 boxster/996 911 bonnet hInges are probably the first units ill look at making work
