Need help mounting the Engine Lid

Can someone send me photos of exactly how mount a CMC engine lid.

I also need the length dimensions of the lid hinge and bracket.

I have it mounted, but when I try to open the lid, it rubs the top of the body.

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

I had the same problem with both the lid and the hood initially.
I took the bolts out, raised the arms as they relate to the supports and re-drilled an eighth-inch higher in relation to the ground. The lid still fit convincingly into its pocket when it was down, and the extra eighth-inch clearance saved my paint.
I'm pretty sure I would have needed that extra eighth from the get-go if there had been a seal between the decklid and body, but I never installed one after my car was re-painted.
Down side for me was that it flopped up and down more easily, especially in reverse for some reason. I eventually bought another pair of arms -- which I still have -- drilled correctly.
You want 'em, they're yours. Might solve your problem without cheesing your arms up.
A far more impractical solution is to hack the back half of your car off with a recip saw and glass the decklid in. I don't suggest it without a team of engineers and stuntmen present.

This is from the library here on the site:

(thanks, Theron and Co. -- I have been able to use the library a lot in my disassembly process!)

I'm thinking that the brackets are to big. When I bought it, the guy said he had them fabricated.

So the read engine brackets extend past the lip of the opening? They also extend down to far. So far that then don't allow the engine to fit.

Before I say I need yours, let me see if I can work this out with a little brain work (and a metal blade). I think if I cut them down it will work.

Todd - I'll send them both. Front and rear. "E" me an address and they'll be on their way.
