Has anyone ever had to replace the trunk latch on a 70 MGB, or any other year? If you look at it closely there is a small plate with a lip in it that pushes down on the lever to open the trunk. After three hours of trying to open mine with turning the whole outside unit, pushing on the lever until my thumb felt like it was broken /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif it finally caught and the trunk opened. That’s when I saw that the small plate was worn out and it was not catching the trigger part which allows the trunk to open. I have looked in the Moss catalog and several others but cannot find a place where I can replace the locking mechanism. I would like to replace the whole thing if I can find out where to order it from.
