<25 Coup rebuild progressing slowly.
Have a folding support arm for the deck lid , took a guess at where it should be located and got it wrong.
Would any one have a photo of where the support arm is located in the trunk to hold the lid up please.
This is the support arm and where i put wrongly put it.

I have just bought a 1925 coupe. I will look at the support and give you measurements this morning when I get out to the barn. First look is that mine is on the other side. What is happening that you say it is incorrect on your car?

I have a late 24 Coupe and the lid support is on the drivers side on it. I guess it would work on either side but it’s been on the drivers side ever since I can remember. I inherited the Coupe in 1959 and my Grandfather was the second owner so I don’t think it’s been changed. It didn’t look to be when I finally restored it around 10 years ago. I send a pic of it later.

Look at the "#2" post below that Tom R. posted - shows a fairly new coupe with the "hold-up" on the driver's side.

Tony, I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. Looking at your photo, I think it needs to be on the other side and flipped over.

Thanks to all who answered. Had to have a bit of a grin to myself when you blokes commented "its on the drivers side" ..so is mine , its just that in Australia we sit on the right... appreciate the comments . I'll head back up to the shed and have another go... just a bit on the warm side in Queensland Australia at the moment with the mercury nudging 98 F and fairly humid . Happy New Year to all.
