Today I mocked up the hatch on my 24-7 pantera.
The factory hinges were mounted along the curve of the hatch and were fighting each other when actuated.
In order to get the fulcrums on the same plane or axis I stacked four fender washers on the outside of each hinge. This is just for measurement and mock up.
The plan is to "let" the base of the hinges into the hatch. ]

Hey Dave. There is enough room between the top of the curve and the deck to let the hatch actuate with no binding. As long as the axis is the same on both sides it opens with no binding or twisting whatsoever.
