<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?

Tony, look at Forum comment by "Vech"n Jan 02. Notice the location of his support. Dick C.

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.
