Hi Ruairidh
I can see that the kink in the hinge might
Help with the opening of the clamshell
but the cutouts on one half of the hinge
do seem a bit mysterious?
Perhaps GE got a job lot of cheap hinges?
Personally I think a strong hinge is needed
Due to the weight of the shell, frame and wheel
And tyre.
One of Tom’s cars may provide the answer?
Regards
Bill G
