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.

Wanted to update my own thread with the findings and fix for the trunk hinges I found on my car.

Since originally posting this I'd say I'm not afraid of welding in new stock hinge brackets after having fixed some of my tin, repaired the passenger side jack point, and welded in supports for a front sway bar. However, I had bought these JWest trunk hinges when the popped up in the for sale section a while back and have now gotten around to installing them.

These are outstanding!

Now to steel myself for the dreaded torsion bars.
