The focus of the repair should be on installing the correct hinges. The hinges in your photograph are outrage hinges. You need to obtain and install a pair of Montauk locker hinges. Look at the parts photograph index for further reference. This is a common failure point. The Montauk locker hinges alllow for a nut, bolt, washer fastening through the hatch cover at 3 points, making for a more secure fastening of the hinge.
