65 Coupe Trunk Rod Placement
« on: June 18, 2014, 01:49:21 PM »
Can someone show photos of the 65-66 rear trunk rod placement on each side arm as I'm trying to put mine back together and don't remember how the placement was to attach them?...Thanks

While I'm at it forgot to ask what is the easy way to install these now I know how they lay?

There's a tool that helps, like this:

Otherwise, you might be able to fabricate something.  If you do that, please be very careful, these things can do some serious damage when they let loose.
