[QUOTE="dunk50, post: 103925, member: 938"] Sorry but photos are going to be a while. I will try it again. First I riveted a piece of 1 1/4 aluminum angle the entire width of the front deck and this was about 1 inch below the lip of the deck. This in effect made a 1 1/4 inch lip sticking out from the front deck about an inch below the lip. I then riveted a piano hinge so that the barrel was just above the front deck and again this was all the way across the deck. The other half of the piano hinge screw directly into the back side of the lid. Without the aluminum angle for the lid to rest on it would have been a very weak point. As is, the weight of the lids is born by the 1 1/4 aluminum angle and the hinge just performs a hinge function. Sorry, best I can do! [/QUOTE]
