Well, my 18 yr old son got stuck in some snow/slush while ‘bou hunting and made the mistake of trying to lift front up by the rack extenders.
Found some master lock lock hinges #703D that looks like a close fit. Had to cut some off the end to make it proper fit(as seen in pics). Am happy as it will swing open and close again and do not have to always find the right spot for it to sit, then latch lid at the back and bungie chord the front close.
It isn’t perfect as it will not hold open position on its own but am happy with that as I rarely have to leave lid open, mainly just open,grab,then close.
For the screws for lid to the hinge |I just used self tapping screws and the hinge to mount I just went with the one stock screw that holds on the bracket. Seems more then sturdy enough.
