Ok on certain yr models at the front edge of the lid is rubber bump stop thingy.
its L shaped with a steel bracket that is captured under one of two spots on the tray. What's it for? Were ther just one or are two susposed to exist? |

It keeps the rear trunk lid from hitting the engine lid when both are open. It's only on early years.
Rubber piece is 914.512.195.10 Metal reinforcement is 914.512.326.10 PET lists them as through 73. |

QUOTE(McMark @ Apr 25 2008, 08:46 PM)  It keeps the rear trunk lid from hitting the engine lid when both are open. It's only on early years. it also prevents the engine lid from just flying open when you pull the lever. without that stop, you have to put your hand on the lid while opening to prevent it from potentially hitting the trim. with the stop, the lid only opens a few inches ...

Ok Great. mounted on the drvs or Pass. side?
Sure its only up to 73? I seem to encountered these on 74 cars as well (LE (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) though I cant honsetly recall if Ive seen any on 75-76 cars? Would it be specific to the tray used since very early trays were diff from mid but not sure if Late were diff again? |

BTW, the one on my 72 has never kept the engine lid from opening full blast - only my right hand . In essence, an original, though useless part. Pat |

Andy, that's the story that Brad presented to me as well, but there is no clip or catch that would stop it from opening.

Here's a photo from my mid year 74 what they look like. Tom Attached thumbnail(s)

Interesting. I've never seen one of these before. My '74 (built 3/74) doesn't have one. Where would it mount exactly, maybe a pic? Would their be an additional hole of some sort? I don't see any place where it could mount.

Here's a pic of my original ('72) & where it's mounted (yeah, I know - the engine's a mess - lotsa things being redone). Of course, and naturally, the early version is not the same as Tom's - F & R surfaces are flush. Jeez, is there ANY continuity to the parts on these cars? Pat Attached image(s)

No I wasnt sure Jeff, Ive gone thru a few cars mostly 73 & 74's and recall seeing them on both, the LE burned so long ago I couldnt remeber. Just chking the colective wisdom. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) My car will have a few deviations from stock, if they make functional sense. SS HE's, the late dual blower outlet ect. If that little do-hicky was gonnas save some lid smackage Id install it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
