Thanks guys for the advice & comments.
I have gone off the idea of mounting on the car I will hang it on the garage wall, maybe put a LED behind it as suggested. |

Like I said, I get $300 for one in nice condition. In Sweden, you might get double that.

Cramped but shows 4 of the 6 ~1/2" holes needed to flush mount the 911 reflector.

David...why not hold on to it and buy a 911 that's missing one?
I have one on my 914 that the previous owner installed. I like the look! Makes the car look wider. Also, my '68 AMX has one too! Came from the factory that way. If you install your's you'll have to cut a whole out in the middle for the Trunk lock button, or wire up a solinoid to electrically unlatch the trunk latch. This would also involve adding a switch hidden some where to power the latch.

Just a bit worried when it comes to the solenoid, i dont want to end up with a failed solenoid and a permanently shut trunk. Regarding buying a 911, the prices in Sweden have gone through the roof so that a no go. i am however negotiating for a 6 engine 2,2 from 72 |

I have a mechanical back up release I made using a Steel wire like a coat hanger wire. I bent it to hook over the top of the solenoid and then turned it to exit the trunk directly below the latch assembly by drilling a small hole in the trunk floor for the steel wire to pass thru. I ran it about six inches down from the trunk floor and I can reach it easily from under the car, pull it down and the latch easily releases.
