Try using the roof vents as a guide to set the distance of the R hinges
Dang Ernie....thanks so much for that last set of photos (the red aluminum lid). That solves my dilema even better than what I was planning on doing. Simply drill the hole through and then take a small hole saw to the inner skin and use some beefy flat washers. I believe it was posted on another thread here that the distance between the hinges ctr to ctr is about 19" (****Correction: it's 19-1/2" according to Frank G's R) so that's what I'll use.
My only other concern was based on stresses to the hinged area leading to issues down the road but now I no longer see it as a big deal. It's amazing how such a small engineering detail as these hinges can cause a guy hemmoroids......:D
