Ages ago CAMP914 did trunk strut kits, but has anyone sourced the parts or re-engineered these things? After removing those evil torsion bar/springs last night and having a prybar whistle past my head, I'd really love to be done with those things forever.
Thanks. |

In fact, the Camp914 kit was based on my install. It's been 20 years and i don't remember any of the part numbers. They were from a 911 though. I did both the front and rear trunk on my car back then. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) PS: There might be an old thread here, should be from around 2006 ish. |
