[FC] looking for a good hinge set up for the engine cover

[J R Read_HML]

I could not find a piano hinge strong enough.

See attached...  This does not fold all the way back (forward?) to flat when 
open.

I assume pictures work on FC... If so, there will be a URL to click near the 
bottom.

Later, JR
