    Mark,

    There is so much confusion in the build manual about which is the LEFT or RIGHT hinge bracket. Initially I mounted them forward against the condenser brackets. However, then the hinge pivot point interferes with the fiberglass cowl. So the left and right had to be reversed and placed on top of everything else.

    I had the hood in place when I did my testing so things seem to fit OK now.

    I did move my grill as far forward as possible in those slotted holes.

    Placing them as shown in my photos sure seems like the wrong thing to do because everything that happens in front of the hinge bracket (such as spacer size) affects the pivot point. But that looks like the only way that works.

    - sorry about the rotation on the pictures. Me and the iPhone rarely get along.
