May be I shoud just not posts replies when I am sitting in my daughter's hospital Room right after they had to go back into her brain to fix a leak. I apologize if I took it wrong. I do think that this would be a good option for someone that did not want to spend the money on high dollar hood hinges that are not really on the market anyways.
No sweat cruzin, am sorry to hear your daughter is having a tough time, thats bad news for any parent. Dont ask how I know. Best of luck!!!!
To open my hood further I had somebody hold it all the way open as far as it can then drill a 1/4 hole through the hinge, then when you want put a bolt through the hole and no prop rod wth more clearance. PS your billet hinges are beautiful
