[TR] TR3A Hood/Trunk hinges

[Geo & Kathleen Hahn]

Sounds like the perfect time to add the aftermarket luggage rack that 
requires you to press out those pins anyway.  Really a slick set-up that I 
find very useful for roadtrips.

BTW: I use a cap screw & nyloc nut in place of the pin when the rack is not 
mounted.
