Anyone have a good way to relocate the tailgate hinges so the knuckle cant be seen from the rear. And no i dont want to weld up the tail gate.
Cheers Scott

Ive heard of a falcon ute hinge mechanism being used.
Opens from the inside.

Raceace, what do the four link systems look like (any pics?) is it something like the old Torrana bonnet hinges?

I had a look at BA Falcon hinges and they are still seen from the out side. Do you know what model it might be?
Thanks Scott

I have an AU falcon ute and yes the hinges are exposed but the latch is internal.
It uses a similar system to a tilt panel garage door latch.
What about a larger stronger piano type hinge, I'm not to sure of how the 1200 ute looks under the tailgate there, so that may work???
Otherwise I would just look at every different type of ute tailgate that you can and see what they use.
