Trunk deck lid mounting

[rustyswinger]

Hello all!

Feeling silly again....... its been 2 years since the trunk deck lid was removed from the ol rusty swinger.....

I cant seem to locate the inner nuts that the factory used to mount the trunk. Just have the original body bolts.

Does anyone have a photo of what the factory used to secure the trunk deck lid? seems like I am missing something that should slip inside the hinge tubing.

ooooops ( again)

thank you!

IIRC - they are sliding mounting "plates" that go inside the end of the square tube
