Hinge repairs

[juliemac57 at hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

Near impossible to photgraph. About 3" from the end of the glass is where 
the hinge meets the firewall. On the inside there is a second support frame 
welded to the firewall. The mount needs to be drilled from behind this 
panel. It needs a slot cut so the drill and the bolt can be introduced.

A nut needs to be ground down on one side so that it will fit tight to the 
hinge frame (an L shaped vertically mounted piece). The back of this is only 
1cm across so the drill point must be accurate.

I cut a piece of 2mm steel plate 15mm*40mm. I used this as a backing plate 
so that the bolt would not pull through.

Getting your hands in behind the hood catch, under the edge of the window is 
not easy  :)
