As we know ARB fridges are great, but the lid is a problem!
First it is hinged long ways so the you need more vertical clearance to open and peer in, than if it was hinged side ways. In my 74 this is a pain.

Second the hinges are not 'friction held', meaning the lid always has to be held open to access the fridge contents.

This guy has resolved these two problems. The supplied hinge is an adjustable tension hinge that is capable of holding the lid open.

He has a website and you can order them in a kit.

Fridge Lid Flip Kit


I think I will order these hinges and try'em out.
If anyone interested PM me.
 
Yup, I've been meaning to get a kit as well. I've got a mailing address in the USA, and it is cheaper/better to just walk into Canada Customs with the receipts, pay the kick and be done with it. I'll send you a PM with some ideas.
