Tilt front end hardware.

I am at the point where I have to attach the one piece nose bonnet to the chassis.
My nose at the lowest point is at least a foot farther ahead of the chassis and I would like it to be easily removed from the car as well as just tilted.. I am sure I can come up with something fairly simple but thought I would ask to see if any one has done this already and save some design time. Attached is a pic of the nose /bonnet The farthest chassis rail is horizontal right at the bottom vertical part of the nose.





Thanks
Dale

That's happened to me before, and it down to a bug in the forum. Sometimes it will display a single post as multiple posts when you view the thread, and if you try and delete any extra posts, it simply deletes the only post that actually exists. If this happens to be the first post in the thread, the thread gets deleted.

Before deleting a post, make sure you refresh the page several times to ensure they are real!

Your problem is similar to that solved by the hinges used on kitchen cabinet doors that lift the door away from the carcass as it opens to allow the hinge to be concealed. I'm not suggesting kitchen door hinges will be up to the job, but you might get some design inspiration from them.

noticed this also, seems to be happening much more that usual, I find that refreshing the screen sorted it out as most disappear.

what about the hinges used for windows? they work very similar to the kitchen ones and are much stronger.
