Trunk latchess interchangable?

Postby notguilty » Thu Jul 24, 2014 12:07 pm

Hey guys,

The tribute build I'm working on has hit a snag, we can't find a trunk latch for our '84 hatchback. Is there another model year that fits or swap from another car that would work? All other options, google, craigslist, and forums haven't yielded any results.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Martin

Also my 81 celica has the same trunk/gas release. The latch it's self (on the trunk/hatch) will most likely NOT fit
