To be honest, I didnt really think that u would like this mod a lot. I thought of it as an average one and thought that u would jus say, ehhhh good ali, wanna see this on it , and so one some average comments.
But man u guys really cheered me up.
Any ways here is the tutorial in words.
First of all find these hinges from any hardware store and they are easily available. The local word for it here in Peshawar is QABZA, i dont know about other areas, might be the same.
Once u find d hinges, get a dozen of half inch nuts and bolts. and install the hinges on ur case. There would be holes on the border, where the edge of the side panel meets the case. U should arrange the holes of the hinges, with those holes in some way, and then screw the nuts and bolts.
NOTE: the nuts and the part of the bolt that is left should be inside the case of the hinge wont close.
Now the tricky part is here.
On back side of your side panel you will find a folded metal part near the border, this helps in a tight fit with the chasis. You should unfold that part with the help of a couple of pliers,a hammer and a screw driver.
There are also some kind of clips at other borders of the sidepanel, this is also so that the side panel fits tightly. You should also make this flat with the help of a hammer only.
Once this is done go for the next part.
Now all the borders of the side panel are flat and one side of the hinge is attached to the chasis. Lie the case on its side, and turn the hinge so that it is open.
Now put the side panel in its place and see that everything is perfectly at its exact place. Now turn the hinge so that now one part is folded on the side panel. Get a marker and mark where the holes of the hinge are, i-e put its nib inside the hole so that the sign is left on the side panel.
Now you have to drill some 3mm holes on the marked areas of the side panel.
Once the drilling is done, go on and attach the side panel to the hinge, with the help of the same 1/2" bolts.
NOTE: Now the nuts and the part that is left from the bolts should be towards the exterior of the side panel. In this way both the heads of the bolts are inside the hinge and it will close with out any problem.
And now you are done with installed the hinges and the side panel at the rite places, now if you dont want the golden colour of the hinges, u can paint it any colour you want as i have done, mate black.
Note: U can also use pop rivets instead of nuts and bolts.
If i havent explained it properly, then i apologize. But i will definitely help you at any place if you dont understand anythin, feel free to ask,
