Looks like
Cunty215 is your first customer
im trying to stay away from as many moving parts as possible.
i was going to drop the whole hinge down so it still bolts on the same, and fit a special lifting block between the hinge and bonnet.
I have come up with a block design using a spring now, Valve spring is what im thinking as there cheap, easy to replace if it fails and strong. But it will be height adjustable, so you can limit the height you want the bonnet to lift.
Once i got all my measurements right etc, Im going to get it done in either stainless steel or alloy. Not sure which yet.
getting there tho
