Re: '56 Trunk Lock

The exact same breakage happened to me a couple of years ago, and if you use the search function you should find that thread where an option was discussed for repair, but in the end it proved easier to just purchase a new adapter (the broken piece). I believe the stress that eventually causes the die-cast piece to break is from use of excessive force and over-rotating the latch mechanism when opening the trunk. My rod link happened to be straight, and I believe the juniors and seniors used the same mechanism.
