Hi All -
I've got a "better safe than sorry" type of question re. swapping out the trunk lid hinges -- looking to install a set of Oscar's drilled & plated beauties.
Is it tough to do this without hosing up the alignment/gaps? Do you do one side at a time and leave the other one in-place to hold the lid in the right position, along with a helper or two? Note I have GT style fiberglass lids which are pretty flexible and fragile though light. The springs are all removed.
Thanks!

chris, I would make some kind of template showing position of (witness) marks from the bolts and then transfer to Oscar's hinges. I have his fronts, love them. After final fit drill a small hole (finish nail) size through both hing and and trunk mounting fixture. Then can be removed and reinstalled dead on. Best, Mark
