I sourced some heavy duty hinges from my local diy store and used those instead . They are welded to a reinforced roof support section .also had to raise the drip rail section slightly to allow the extra thickness in the hinge to keep the door lines correct horizontally . The inner attach area was cut away heavy duty 6mm plate welded in to allow the new hinges to be welded to it . Hope that makes sense ? Cheers @roboforcerx2000

I have a question- how are your hinges mounted on side gullwing doors? I'll be doing mine eventually (rear ones as well) and that might help me brainstorming, have any pics? Described above I hope ... little tricky but worked out ..

Hope that makes sense ? Cheers @roboforcerx2000 It does indeed, I was kinda thinking same direction, thanx bro!
If it's broken- I'll fix it! If it's not- I'll break it to figure it out how it works so I can fix it.
