There are a couple of members here with original Lolas that will probably chime in. The Hertiage forum is a good place to look too, I go there a lot, but doesn't have too much activity. I wonder if they are all the same? I bet the hinges are different from car to car.

Hold a child's toy block between your thumb and forefinger and swivel it back and forth. Now stick pins through your fingers into the wood to replicate bolts. That is about it.
 
Thanks Johan. Good description.

We devised a spring loaded device, as there is no other way to get the pins into the cavity above the fore finger or thumb.

The panels we have I know are genuine. Just missing the hinges.

I'II try the heritage web site again, but previously found the no one helped, I am assuming because I am building a replica.

Maybe if I mention the couple of genuine Lola F5000's we have may make a difference. But the that would be too cinical wouldn't it.

I was wondering if that was for John, but I thought Jerry was building that car for John? There were some pics on the Lola forum of the build, but they are pretty old.

Best,
