  • Body / Glass: 55 coupe trunk latch

    My trunk latch didn't seem to work properly. Took apart and it appears that on the opening mechanism there is a coil spring with a "tail" on each end.

    Looks to me that one of the tails is broken off.

    So at this point looks like I am searching for a piece of unobtainium. Checked the usual catalogs and on line I don't seem to be able to find one.

    Any chance one of you out there might have one or able to send me in the correct direction. I can post pictures is need be.

    Or maybe a complete tumbler assy. with a good spring? This would be for a 55 Champion Coupe.

    Thanks,
    C-dog

    Check a hard copy of the S.I. Catalogue. That's where I bought mine.
