Me neither. But's I'm kind of curious how that works on a Bonus or Economy Built with such a pointed hood.

I'll stick with my full front tilt:

I agree. What type of latching system does it use.

After seeing that , i have mixed thoughts now on what i want to do. I was going to do a full tilt like ' Julies ' but now i'm not sure . Darn , just something else to keep me awake at night now. Are those guides to pull it in place about where the hinges would be ?
