I really like the way you did your door hinges. It looks like there was a good deal of experimental fitting involved. If there is anything you can share about the angles/dimensions/etc that might help reduce my trial and error process I would really appreciate it.

No, cap is not vented, I used existing MX5 rollover valve and vent. For filling I used t-piece just below the cap.

If there is anything you can share about the angles/dimensions/etc that might help reduce my trial and error process I would really appreciate it. Not much more I can share other than the pictures, it was one part I made on the hoof rather than plan out in 3D. Basically taped the door shut and mocked up hinge loops using hand bent aluminium tube then formed steel tube to same shape and tacked to the vertical hinge. Hinge pin runs 100% vertical and door flange runs at same angle as the door pocket (probably varies by kit so angles might not even help. Hinge pin mounting tabs are slotted to allow some adjustment to door position and angle. Washers were used to position door closer or further away from the body. Key is to mount the hinge pin as high and close to the body return as possible. Once hinge pin is located it’s quite straightforward to make the loops, just takes trial and error to get right. |
