Merv,
Looks like a nice simple installation.

I would reinforce the hinge now that you have drilled a hole in it, in time I am sure the hinge will crack at that point.

Tek screws are my pet hate, they are only good for fences.

It is also a good idea to have the strut "overcenter" so it is not costantly trying to open the bonnet.
