Yikes, I can see exactly why the bonnet lump would be a problem.
I have seen kit cars with a bonnet hinge on one side, but many also, like the one on my Marlin, which is a one piece you have to take off each time.
Can you not hinge it at the back somehow?
I think the old trucks were hinged in three places because with just one the headlamps would obstruct opening the hood, problem is it's got to be at least one in the middle and jiggle opening it or go all the way with three.
Vent is a problem with either option.
I think it'll look better with th three, bought em now anyway :D
 
Can only sympathise. Recently I get painful knees from kneeling on them even on carpet. The only way to avoid it is to use one of those cushioned mats, which are a pain but there you go.
Age is not fun.:(
I think it is more as a result of:
a) Pushing the mini back and forth to park it in at the kerb yesterday.
b) Clambering up & down under the car to effect the temp repair.

I have ordered the hanger rubbers and once I have measured the diameter of the pipe I will get a new U-Bolt clamp.

In other news....
The Useless little fecker brother in law is pushing lots of tasks to sort the MIL out onto my wife like she is some kind of servant. Why? ....because..... it transpires his car has a problem. This news made my day, I hope the vehicle is unrepairable.

Yer telling peeps to use inhumane meffuds of killing animals, which is against our law in the uk. There's humane meffuds available. No excuse not to use them. Fings like the supply of glue traps are banned. Methods causing prolonged pain and distress are banned.

But the official govt approved gassing of Badgers in their sets is perfectly ok? ;)

I dont think thats the law in Scotland, im sure its banned to catch birds in glue traps & larsen traps need to be registered.

Should do a cull on the royals, put all there money back into hospitals, care homes & how many homelessness people could
you get into that auld palace.
No need for all there estates, policing armed response protection, bullet proof vehicles there would be enough left over
to fill all the pot holes from here to the moon. 🤣🤣
 
Wifey is feeling aggrieved because all the "done nothing...were absent" people are all jumping on a bandwagon of passive aggressive criticism as to how her mother is. I keep telling her to push back and ask them where they were for the past 5 years and why suddenly they are so interested? They all want the old gal to have manicures, pedicures, facials, hair dressing, dentistry etc. etc. like it will roll back the 95 years. She's winding down to die and they are all suggesting things they could/should have done 10 years ago. It makes me both sad and sick to see/hear them all.
