Bonet hinges.

Post by MARKx4 »

The bonet hinges on my MK or very stiff and makes the bonet feel like it weighs a tonne. Any ideas on lossening them up?

it's not the hinges, the bonnet on the MQ really does weigh a ton.

No when i had the bonet off the hinges were really hard to move. I know they weigh a bit but it shouldnt feel that heavy.

WD40, but like DD said

I could explain about moments (physics) and how a stiff hinge won't matter

It's like putting a 1.5m bar on a spanner, no matter how tight it feels it will move (or break) with the leverage of the bonnet length it won't matter unless your bonnet it flexing because of the strain. In which case new hinges.
