Devildog:

Lemme try to get off my lazy butt (a tad run down with another chest infection) and get pics of the way I hinged my engine deck grilles. Nothing too fancy, just a bit of heavy foil (Dollar Store cookie sheets give ya loads cheap!)and thin wire insulation, and some piano wire or the like.

Its really quite simple, compared to a Sherman driver's hatch... and it can be used on many other hinges as well. Plus, it provides a weak point if the grille gets jammed... hinge will tear, and the grille won't get mangled (If I had a Tiger, I'd use the same method for the mudflaps...) and the hinge is easily rebuilt.
