[QUOTE="mmf, post: 214535, member: 4379"] Well I have been re-thinking the existing hinge on that lid...I might just try trimming the DP cover to right past the hinge line (I'm being a tight wad now). It might not be too bad after I drill the rivets out to remove that old piece of carpet behind it and re-rivet it back, it will leave a gap at the hinge area but once it is painted it won't be so noticable, besides, it's just a fishing boat anyway, huh? :) thinking also about drilling 3 holes (see arrow on pic) to add three more rod tubes here in an effort to eliminate the extra hole still here too.............
