Hi all. 2 years ago I purchased a set of modified bed hinges from 
list member Bj�rn Ratjen, who brought them back from Germany. 
These hinges lift the bed 4" higher than standard, and would 
typically be used when doing an engine conversion which requires 
modifying the engine bay cover. I purchased them with the 
intention of creating a storage compartment above the engine bay 
as a part of an interior overhaul... which after two years I'm 
coming to realize I will never do. 

SO... the hinges are for sale for what I paid for them - $160 US 
+ cost of shipping. Shipping by method of your choice. 

These are the same hinges David Marshall sells at Fast Forward 
- possibly for $235 US, though I'm not sure if the price on his 
site is for the hinges alone, or for the hinges + installation. 
In any case, you can view the instructions that are included 
with the hinges at

Oh... did I mention the instructions are in German? Luckily, the 
pictures are language-independent!

The hinges are still in the box I received them in, sitting out 
in the shed. Never installed. Payment by money order, check, paypal, 
billpoint all OK. Look forward to hearing from you.
