Broken Right Side Trunk Bracket Hinge

[Kevin@ojai.net]

Any help would be appreciated -- Today when putting some groceries in my rear trunk the right bracket mount broke. I am talking about the area in the engine compartment that the upper bolt on the hinge bolts into. My only thought would be to replace the bracket with a new one, but cant find any where that has them. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kevin

Look for "914 Trunk Hinge Plate". Basically, cut off the old one and weld in the new one in the same place.

If your in the Milwaukee area and need help with the job let me know. I’ve done it before with the PP part. Not a huge deal – except for that blasted torsion spring...
