1954 trunk hinge needed

dave s

Help, please. I need a left (driver side) trunk hinge for 1954 coupe/convertible.

Dave if the rivets are sheered they can be replaced or use bolts. Buddy of mine had rivets fail (54 coupe) at a recent regional. We went to local hardware and fixed hinge.

Thank you  Rivet replacement was no problem, but it is bent in several places along with a crack that I was able to weld.  If we can get it to work, I would still be leery about tasking it on trip.

When I was doing the hinges for the trunk I glass beaded them and blew all the dust off and silver painted them.  WheIl I installed them and went to close the trunk lid the hinges bent badly .So finely I sprayed then with silicone graffite chain saw lube. And now I can open and close my trunk lid with my little finger.Oil helps lots.

Not going to make it to Doc's meet this weekend Dave.  If you don't find a better lead, I can send you pictures and if you want to try it, I'll send it to you.
