Back in entries number 224 to 227 I fabricated the bracket for the trunk release inside the car, as well as the linkage going into the trunk lock from the inside.
Today I finally completed this after nearly two years. The rear end of the cable has a convenient little mounting "ear" on it where you can screw it down, so no hold down gadget needed to be fabricated.
The first pic shows the cable mounted in the trunk lid with the end hooked into the lock linkage.
The second pic shows a little plate I put over the lock linkage to prevent it from coming out.
So finally the trunk can now be locked and then easily opened from inside the car. I might just add a spring sometime to help pop it open a bit more positively.
