if you have the know how...you could possibly make your own hinges. and then use small rivets to rivet them to the body

Tankzone has a few, they don't really match the Jeep hood hinges but if you don't have any luck anywhere else (beside fabing some to look exact). http://www.henglongtanks.co.uk/cart/16_general.htm Last edited by beachbum; 04-16-2010 at 12:14 PM. |

i used dubro hinges available at most any hobby store. just trim them to the shape and paint them |
