The rear trunk pivot assembly can no longer be welded back on the car after snapping apart many times over the decades.
I just received the nifty replacements from J West, so that project looms... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) But... Should I skip the springs and go to the hydraulic lifts? Just asking for opinions... And guidance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |

For me it was easy, lose the stupid wire bars. Also slot the mounts so you can lift the lid up and off. The big lids... I always use gas struts from a pick and pull place. Fun day at the park and the new lids lift nicely. If you can't figure out the ratios and stuff, you could go to camp914.com and just pay the pony. Craig has good stuff.
