My car was disassembled for painting many years ago and put together hastily. Most things I dig into need hardware, or adjusting or replacement. The front trunk handle is the latest.

It never looked like a stock handle should. There is a chrome cylinder, 5mm to 6mm in diameter sticking up a bit from the handle. That stops the handle from going into the handle mount so the whole handle sticks out a bit and wobbles. When I took it apart, I noticed the small stop screw on the handle slider is not installed.

It does function correctly, just with a wobbly handle in the holder, the holder mount is tight to the car body.

Questions
Do I just press that small chrome cylinder down until it is even on both sides? What does it do?
What are the specs for that stop screw? Cant see any details in the PET.
Will I have adjust the cable or sleeve when I get it put back together correctly.

Cheers

Wow! I did not know I was playing stump the World today. 100 views and no suggestions yet. How about a pic? Maybe that will help.

I’ll comment that handle needs some ghetto paint. I think the stop pin is further down the shaft

First things first, I need it to function correctly. If by stop pin you mean the slotted screw at the other end, that is the one I need the specs for so I can buy one. If not, does that pin just push in place?

What year is this handle, it's nothing like the frunk release handle on my original 73? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

It's the same handle I have seen in most later cars. Just in a more deconstructed format.

@NARP74 Went out into the garage. Here is what mine looks like installed on my 74 1.8. When the hood is closed the handle should be recessed in the cylinder/mounting bracket. I can pull mine apart if needed to get the stop screw dimensions as it's not listed in the PET. That exposed pin is the lock pin when the key is turned to the lock position that prevents the front trunk from being opened.

Is it just locked? Looks like the lock pin is out blocking it from going back in.

@L-Jet914 thanks for the pics, that is what I am trying to get to.
@GregAmy , some pics in there showed what I needed to see.
@East coaster I think that is exactly what is going on.

Now to see if I have a key for it.
The specs for that stop screw would be a big help, and maybe some tough paint...

No way to write this without it sounding like a steamy novel, there was insertion, fiddling, lube, full penetration and manipulation, then success! I found a key that works, got the lock barrel to move and then I could slide the handle fully into the receptacle. Need the specs for that little stop screw and then I can see if the cable and sleeve need to be adjusted and put it back together.

Thanks for the help so far.

Yes, but what’s the ultimate question? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Still calculating…… (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yep, probably like that from the DA2PO, a very long time. I had tried the key but was never able to get it to work, didn't want to force it and worked on other problems.

Need small stop screw specs to complete this project.
