I do not have the old hinge. Can you upload a blueprint/sketch of each side to use for tracing? It appears you used angle aluminum stock. Do you dis-assemble the lid/remove the padding to access the nuts? Thanx and It looks great.

Yes you have to remove the padding of the lid to drill the holes and bolt it to the lid base. It just comes off with some screws.

That is sweet! I had used JB Weld to try to fix mine. One broke, so its holding on with one. I had gotten it from the junkyard. One was totally broken off, one was still barley hanging on. Might give this a try!

I have a 96 Z34 and when I bought it the lid was broke. I can't find any and can't figure a way to fix it.
