They are sitting side ways in the picture.
They have been mounted on the older Bugs before, but can find the link.

nope you can open it, close fit. i just need to get some nice hinges anybody know where you can get a couple. i may go to boat hardware, they have some nice looking hinges and latches.
i'm thinking about using a chrome piano hinge on the bottom you want see it until you open it up and not much pressure on the trunk lid.?
