The engine compartment hinge on my buddies' 914 broke off a long time ago, and I am finally able to get around to fixing it. Is there an easy solution to fix this? Welding is almost out of the question since the two halves of the hinge barely match up; like there's metal missing. Just hoping you guys could lay all of my options out.

if it came completely off the body you're in luck. you don't have to remove the carcass. you need to take the rear deck off , take the spring off the roller(hinge in the up position- slide a 10(?) mm deepwell socket w/an extention over the end of the spring and lever it down and off to the side with the extension), and remove the hinge on the bad side. pretty simple. the old pivot should leave witness marks so you know where to place the new one. there is a center bolt that retains the hinge arm on the pivot. you will get a new bolt when you buy a replacement pivot. al blose is coming by tomorrow and we'll be doing a few things on his car you might find of interest. stop by if you're interested. i'm sending you a pm. jwest engineering sells the part your buddy needs. look in the "resources, parts, and products".
