Reply to "Deck Lid Latch upgrade"

quote:

Did you know some of the early push-button cars had a cable operated rear deck? Cable ran to a recessed Fiat-sourced release handle located in the driver's B pillar.


My other pantera; 1280 has it both on the back deck and the pillar.

But the latch is not readily within reach from under the car, and with your cover, the guts aren't even open to a stretched-out hand.

Should a cable, or servo, go NFG you may have major issues.

Don't mean to rain on your parade. Your project would surely be on my list should some soccer mom ever crunch the back of 2511.

Just my 2ยข

I already have it covered and it is so simple. If some one does this I will pass the solution on but I don't want to make it common knowledge.

Rick the part number is ROC-HT002 "Hood and Trunk Latch Side mount. They have 2 latches which look alike but one is side mount and one is base mount. I used the base mount in the front trunk but make sure you get the right one. They look identical otherwise.
