Bonnet Hinge Measurements
 
OK, I did the classic muppet thing of driving with the bonnet on the latch. :wall: Yeah, all me, no excuses about the wind or anything. lol)

Anyhoo, I've found a new one down the scrappy but now I'm left with my dodgy hinges. (dont ask why I didnt buy them with the bonnet - I'll just say we had a misunsderstanding)

Can anyone do me the huge favour of measuring their hinges?

I need a measurement that gives me an idea of reach as mine are now too short.
Maybe the distance between one of the bonnet holes and the pivot or something like that??

(Btw it aint an RST but if I ask in 'other cars' I'll be waiting forever, bonnets are the same:cry:)

Nobody has a mk3/4 escort and a tape measure? :cry:

No worries, probably wouldnt have helped me anyway.
All fixed through trial and error - but fuck are those hinges tough! Had to use a trolley jack and some odd bar arrangements to bend em back to shape.
