Riveted a hinge to the underside of the front chassis rail (allow a bit of clearance, so the hinge can go back more than 90 degrees). Then rivnuted
that to the return flange on the nose cone.
That sorts the bottom edge out nicely.
 
Hinge Indy Nose
Then I used an M8 bolt into the top chassis rail at either side, going into a rivnut.
But someone was using bonnet catches underneath the nosecone, which looked a better solution.
