Hi
I bought a gull wing kit ,but wanted a more substantial hinge arrangement due to me adding all the extra weight .the piano hinge would not be enough .
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 ..

Here's pic I took a few weekends ago at an indoor show I was invited too , I set the door height lower than it's done in the USA. as we get quite a bit of rain here and did not want the rain water running internally so set it at a lesser angle .

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.
