Followed this youtube video and it worked. [/url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etQq1m3Np4U

Got a hinge 50mm x 18mm approx. Got the pin out. Cut off old lugs on the lid. Drilled two holes. Bit of filing making the u of the hinge bigger. Cut my nut and bolt to size and fitted. Refitted hinge pin. Sweet as.

This may come in very handy soon. Thanks for sharing!

I've noticed that the hinges on my 2017 OEM GTS top case are super flimsy.
Every time I open it, I must pay special attention to control the movement the whole way through, lest I allow it to overextend or even get a little out of alignment.
