Here are some pictures of the rear trunk pivots in the 914 I bought. It looks like a few people have been in there before, but I don't know what it should look like. Although it is working as of now, I want to plan this repair before it goes bad.

Would someone post a picture what this should look like originally?
And, would someone post pictures of the JWest trunk pivots installed?
Are there other options? JWest shows out of stock.

If your trunk lid is still aligned well, I'd just wire wheel it clean, treat with Ospho, and weld it in place. A few spot welds will secure it and hold for decades.
