Fitting flip front hinges
Turbo Mini Forums

I spent a good part of yesterday welding my panels together and now have a steel front and I have also fitted the brace bars (from Minispares). I have aset of hinges from Minispeed, could some one who has doone this before advise me on where to place the hinges, both on the subframe and on the front panel?

Cheers

there could be some pics in my link of how i did it when i was running a steel flipfront

i put the pivot bit on the bottom of the front bit of the subframe, and bolted the other bits to the inside of the front valance

There is some pics mate, i saw them yesterday

Nicely done. The hinges I got from minispeed however aren't curved like the ones in your pics. Both parts of the hinge are flat with one being about 1.5 times longer than the other. Any suggestions?

mine were home made, just stick the flat bit in a vice and bent to suit
