Replicaparts no longer makes hinges for the motor cover. Anybody have a suggestion? Anybody fab their own?
I grabbed some pictures from someone's thread, but didn't appear to save the link. Maybe it will jog someone's memory and they can point you to the right thread:
Trunk + Engine Cover Hinges 1.jpg
Trunk + Engine Cover Hinges 2.jpg
The first pic shows the hinges that Replicaparts used to sell. Thanks for starting the process. Any other solutions?
If I could get 10 people to commit I would remake them. The 818 parts business had been non existent over the last few years. Makes it tough to stock stuff like this.

I'm in, that makes 2.
I didn’t realize Mike stopped selling, I sent him an email recently for just this part. I was starting to look at fabbing my own. So, I make 3!
Though my shock brace turbo clearance mod might require some extra work and my trunk is mounted differently so it sits lower on the bumper cage brace. Sigh, every custom change requires 3 more changes down the road, lol.

Okay. Now we’re rolling. 10 @ $ 175.00 is $ 1,750.00. With 3 so far that’s $ 550.00 each. Let’s get to 10.
I have the engine cover hinges and also the FFR trunk insert. They work great together. Im glad I bought his hinge kit.
Make it 4, Mike. Bummer that the parts game is so slow these days; I missed these years ago and wanted them since
