Not sure the proper name, but I need the piece that slides in and holds the trunk lock in. Mine was drilled out at some time (guess someone must have lost their key ou: ) and the rivet hole is too big now. Plus it is somewhat bent and does not care to cooperate. If anyone has a good functional piece (needing sanding/painting no problem) that they'd like to sell, please let me know. Or, if you can point me in the direction to order a new one, that's great. I looked around on Year One, CARS, etc but all I found were locks & keys. I'm sure it's a piece that can be found while junkyarding, but that's not my gig! I have a rivet, just need the keeper/bracket. What the heck is it's proper name?? Thanks!
I think thats called a retainer clip,probably called some other names also.Check these out,maybe the same for your car.Tom. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/70-7...categoryZ34204QQihZ002QQitemZ4645113326QQrdZ1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-...categoryZ33648QQihZ019QQitemZ8071899969QQrdZ1
Thanks, Tom! Trunk Lock Retainer ou: That was easy! The first one doesn'y look right at all, but the 2nd one does. Except the one out of my car doesn't have the closed loop (u-shaped) piece at the end. Maybe someone cut it off of mine? I wouldn't be surprised, there is a lot of jerry-rigged stuff on Lucille. Can anyone confirm that the part in this auction is correct/will work? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-70-72-Chevy-Chevelle-Trunk-Deck-Lid-Lock-Retainer_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33648QQihZ019QQitemZ8071899969QQrdZ1
Annie, yours may look like this.Maybe you can email him,and ask him if he can sell you just the clip. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/66-6...ryZ34204QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Annie Oakley Hi remember me?I have that retainer.Will mail it to you.Confirm that you need it.I still have your address.BrunoD.
Hey Bruno! That would be great! I'm more than willing to pay for it and/or shipping, just let me know. :TU: Question for those concours restoration types - is the retainer supposed to be painted black or is it chromed/stainless? My current piece is painted black, but then again so is the hood latch, the aluminum brackets, etc ou: Thanks!
