I'm retrofitting a FFR 289 body to a 4 year old MK4 frame. When I picked up the body at FFR, they gave me some assorted hardware, including some trunk hinges. They are thinner and more rectangular than the older hinge. My question to anyone who has used the new hinge is where they mount. Are they inboard or outboard of the tabs on the upper trunk tube?

Dale, they've changed the hinge arm to one that's shaped a little more rectangular and about half as thick, but I'll just go with the inboard mount. Thanks for the picture.

Joe, Inboard is correct on the MKIV standard body with the new hinges, I can't imagine the FIA would be any different.

Happy New Year!

Ron, have you done your strut mod with the new hinges?
