Coop,
Which hood connections do you disconnect in order to get the hood to go up that high? Which ones are left in place?

That was our very own "Mart" from Solihull, England (a frequent contributor) that was performing that swap. Maybe you could PM "Mart" to ask and find out the answer.

Thanks Coop, but figured it out. Just removed the two spring supports and the hood will rotate up about all the way to the windshield.
