These latches are used to hold the fold down up right and yes there are two (one passenger one drivers side) in 69 and 70. They have matching strikers on the forward most (when the assy is in the down position) panel edge

OK so your "talking" about the trap door bracket that holds it in the open position.

That is a two piece unit, a long "wire" oval that attaches to the trap door and a bracket it rubs against mounted to the passenger side trunk hinge mounting point. Original finish on these parts appears to differ depending on where the car was assembled




Only one pair of items - both on passenger side

Never seen one for a Mustang on the drivers side. Wonder if there is another application they are taking those from. 69-70 only passenger side
