Hi Scoota

Well as long as you can find or make a hinge that you can setup

so the hinge pins are on the same line and you may need to strengthen

up where the hinge mounts both on the hatch and the car. and also wherever

you mount the catch it should theoretically work.

would the pressure inside the cabin want to push open the corner of the hatch

that is not hinged near the roof?

 

Cheers

Tell me all the reasons why i couldn't do this.

Interesting concept, I am all for new ideas.

How would work gas struts to stop it falling closed, especially the lower one ?

 

Good Luck

I took a break from clearing out the shed.

 

It would have to be in fibreglass with a lexan window to save the hassel of a gas strut.

 

PS. I'll send you the bill for my hernia!

Any reason, or just to be different?

 

Hatch has a bit of a curve to it, so like the regular hinges it would need to pull the hatch up and away from the side. This would make the hinge design a little low and back sitting in the boot area, will move into the area a little for the lower hinge.

what about one of those tent that attach to the back like Holden released in the seventy :)

 

Like this the "Hatch Hutch"
