Hi all, I noticed that it looks like the body shop replaced the trunk hinge supports in our 69 vert. Before I attempt to install the trunk hinge rods can anyone verify the measurements? I want to make sure they are in correct spot.
Thanks
Steve

Steve, how long are the rods I'm curious to see how this plays out.:popcorn:
 
Saw some good used ones for sale here in the last week or so.

Classic also sells them but I imagine shipping would be 2 to 3 times the price of the glides
 
I saw that too Dana, $2 used and $14 in shipping lol.
Classic is out of stock. I dont mind used or new, I would want to maximize the "value" of the shipping cost(if that makes sense)

I measured 38-3/4" between the inner faces of the supports at the level of the rods. Hope that helps.
 
When possible can someone take pics of where hinge supports are welded? At bottom and up top(sail panel). Wanna chk on the body shop bs.
Thanks
Steve
 
Steve mine measured 38 1/2”. They have never been moved so I think you are good on the placement
