    Nope, no "criticalness" taken. I know it really helps when you understand the full design and that wasn't documented here. I don't think these hinges will need bushings, they aren't going to be used that extensively. I do know I want them to be a bit loose so they don't bind or fight one another while opening.

    Yep you don't want them causing the hood to wind up looking like a 76 chevy truck hood
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
