The best thing is to look at the pictures I have posted. You will need 1" angle iron, 1/2" steel plate, 1/2" solid steel rod. a drill with various size bits, a welder, and a lot of different size grinding discs. The only way to describe what to do is to compare a stock hinge with my modified hinge with pictures. The dimension placement location will not be good enough to describe the modifications. I do not have stock hinges to take a picture of at this time so I have not been able to take pictures. There are two different types of Maverick hinges, I need the type that open up the furthest.
