I know they exist - but I can't find the source.

I need to replace the nylon trunk hinge rollers and I want the metal or bronze replacements.

I also need the shoulder bolt for one side.

Who has those - I tried searching (Google and 914World) but came up blank.

Thanks in advance!

I'm sure I have a pair ..... Send me a PM with your address in Airplane City.

I don't do rollers anymore ... I install the gas shocks and ditch the stupid torsion bars.

fwi. swapping them out is simple. open the trunk, slide a 7 or 8mm deepwell socket (i forget which, and 1/4" drive ones work great) over the bar end on the roller. use a long exstension to lever it down,while holding the end down slide the roller on. DON'T release any of the hardware retaining the spring rods.
