Need help finding a new trunk lock mechanism
« on: June 22, 2008 - 12:19:44 AM »
I broke the bolt on the back of my trunk lock.  Its the broke off after a tool box slamed into it.  I forgot to put the protecter panel on.  Opps.   The key works fine.  I could not find one on YO site or R-T specialties.  Any suggestions???  BTW, Its a 73 cuda.
