    摘要: A hinge structure (30) provides the pivoting mount for the bonnet (26) of an agricultural or similar vehicle. The hinge structure (30) comprises a mounting rail (32) configured to be securable to the bonnet (26) and a cast console or bulkhead (34) securable to the vehicle frame. The mounting rail (32) and cast console (34) are pivotally interconnected for rotation about an axis (A). The hinge structure (30) comprises at least one bolt or hinge pin in the form of a projection (36), which projection is a generally cylindrical body having a longitudinal axis coincident with the given axis (A) when installed. The projection (36) is received in a bore (38) in the cast console (34), and movable in the axial direction (A) to engage an aperture (40) in the mounting rail (32) where it is held by a sprung locking mechanism (46). Preferably, the vehicle comprises a pair of the hinge structures (30), with the pair sharing a common cast console (34), and the two mounting rails (32) being attached to respective ones of the left and right sides of the bonnet (26).
