Here are some pictures of the rear trunk pivots in the 914 I bought. It looks like a few people have been in there before, but I don't know what it should look like. Although it is working as of now, I want to plan this repair before it goes bad.
Would someone post a picture what this should look like originally? And, would someone post pictures of the JWest trunk pivots installed? Are there other options? JWest shows out of stock.    Thanks in advance. |

If your trunk lid is still aligned well, I'd just wire wheel it clean, treat with Ospho, and weld it in place. A few spot welds will secure it and hold for decades.
