I did get all the hinges with the car but Im not using them.
I dont like the way thay look & I think it would be silly to assume that you wont want to take the front & rear clips off to work on the car.

When I designed these I kept in mind that you dont want to lose the body position as that seems to be a major issue.
If I pull either clip off I dont want to spend 2 hours resetting the body gaps.

Basicly the hinge plate & body plate never comes off the car so it will always end up in the same spot. all 316ss.

The pics show the steps off removal.
It takes about 1 min .

Rear hinges are similar but havnt finished them yet.
I am also working on a door hinge as a quick release along simalar lines.

I have worked on a few gt40s now & find the doors to be painfull in a workshop situation.
My shop is not that big.
