I have two questions on how best to make repairs to my 75 Malaga Red project...
1st is the repair of the trunk release cable tube... has anyone "spliced" a piece of tubing in, or is it best to replace the whole thing from a donor car (have not yet checked to see if I have a good one on my donor)  Second question is about the trunk hinges - just noticed that they have developed cracks...can I run a weld bead along the cracks to fix, or should I remove and replace?  As always - thanks for input...and for keeping me inspired to get this car restored. |

IMHO get new hinges & replace both now, rather than welding & waiting for another crack to occur.
Front trunk release tubes are still available at the dealers & usual online sources AFAIK last time I looked, if you're trying to do a CW level resto on this. Otherwise Scotty's method will work fine for a DD, AX or Racer 914. Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
