<VV> The 1965 Corvair trunk latch?

[Arlette Carl]

Hi everyone,

 

What's everyone's view on the following?

 

The repainting of our 1965 Monza convertible's body shell is progressing really well, with with a little luck the painted body shell might be back in our garage by Christmas and really to commence the reassembly of all the individual restored mouldings and trim.

 

My painter believes the trunk latch which bolts on the inside of the trunk is missing a spring that controls the second (safety) catch.

 

I checked the Clark's Corvair catalogue but dont't see this trunk latch or the small spring listed.

 

I would be happy to just purchase a whole trunk latch if anyone has one for sale or if anyone can tell me what this spring looks like then perhaps it's common with other 1960's GM models.

 

Alternatively is a spring meant to be there in first place?

 

My GM Corvair workshop manuals does not give any information on this trunk latch at all?

 

Regards from Australia

 

Carl L. Kelsen
