I'm not 100% sure I know exactly where you are measuring, my 74L cross member that has the hinge mounting cutout measures 32 & 3/8" at the trailing (rear) edge, 32" exactly if I use the bolt holes as the guide. The foremost opening between the fenders is 31& 1/2" fender to fender.

All,



Can anyone with an un-molested car provide a dimension to me?  I'm looking
for the width of the hood opening as measured across the hinge plate.  By
hood opening I'm talking about the recessed area that the hood rests in.
My car was crunched hard in this area and I'm trying to confirm dimensions
as part of the repair process.  With fenders on and straight my hinge plate
appears to be about 3/8 of an inch short of the width.



Corey gave me a dimension of 32" but since his car suffered damage in the
same area I'm not sure if that is a reliable width.



Thanks, Lynn
