Now I have the lightest car...right!
What happens when you have 1 hour to kill, and a set of front hood hinges in a box?
Before 730 grams, after, 560 grams. These willbe the perfect match for the aluminum front hood waiting on the wall... [imghttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads2/charnières_21058634730.jpg[/img] GeorgeK |

You've got a drill right. The hinge needs some holes!!

Dear Sir!
I firmlt believe in adding extra lightness to a P-car, but it seems like a lot of work for such little gain. Surely it would be easier to take the flask of gluhwein out yor car!!!!!

I can't agree more. But if you consider the 1/2 pound sweat lost while drilling, it all becomes worthwile. And, to match the lighter front lid, these are a must...

Isn't that going to throw the weight distribution of your car out of whack? Better get it corner balanced.
