Trunk latch striker missing

[miker351w]

Hello,

It appears I am missing the rear trunk threaded rod from my kit. Any clue on the size/length/thread taper so I can buy a replacement? Or if you know where I can get a replacement one, that would be great! I like the small plastic cap at the end that I see on the original one included.

If I recall, it's just a simple bolt through a piece of aluminum tubing. The bolt is likely a #8-32 about 3-4 inches long.

The cap is something like this: McMaster-Carr Page:

Screw is something like this: Screws, 8-32 Thread, 3-1/2" Long

I pulled out my inventory sheets and here are the specific parts you are looking for:

1. Bolt, #10-24 x 5", (Trunk latch pin)
2. Washer, #10, (Trunk latch pin)
3. Lock Nut, Nylon, #10-24, (Trunk latch pin)
4. Latch Pin Sleeve, 0.312" OD x 4.00", Stainless
5. Hinged Cap (for latch pin screw)

Your local hardware store probably has everything except the hinged cap and possibly the specific sized sleeve in SS, although I've had very good results finding stuff like that at Ace Hardware.

Thank you all! I was able to recreate it.
