I posted this in my build thread but haven't received a reply. Any thoughts? See pic's at http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...01776&st=80 See post #91. TIA, kent

BTW / FYI, you can link directly to that post (number) - just substitute '91' in the URL you posted (which was for that page, 80 being top post on page). I.E:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...01776&st=91

Alternatively, the post# is itself a link which can be copied/pasted:

Hope this helps!

The trunk pivot point is a bolt welded on the back of a bracket and the bracket welded onto the inner fender.

Remove the hinge and the pivot point will be obvious. This is a common break.

i had to do this several months ago. here's my dinky thread;

i ended up getting a used piece from someone here and having a muffler shop weld it in for me. it's holding up nicely several months later.

doh! i see i forgot to post pics of that...

i used the "much cursing" method of re-setting the torsion springs...

it kinda appears you might be able to get away with adding some type of sleeve to locate the pivot bolt but, only if you're a cheap lazy bastid like me!

Thx Jerry. I'll find one to replace it with.


Well your "dinky thread" turned on a light in an otherwise dark room. Thx for the tips everyone.
