WTB: Trunk support piece(s) circled

[afeustel]

Disclaimer: this is a pic from a while back of HBChris' car - but I am using it for illustration of the pieces I need.

Does anyone have both of these pieces (circled) for the trunk area (there is one on each side of my car)? I am doing work on my coupe trunk sheet metal and these pieces are rusted through in a few places.

Appreciate the consideration.

Wasn’t this 73 and on US only? It has been a long time since this was discussed.

Yes, I snagged that pic from an old conversation but it's exactly the part(s) I need.

My car is a 73 US model.

Interesting.

Most of guys from Europe were aware of the item #5 (Which seems to be missing in the car from the picture).

Was the reinforcement having own part number?

Good in a bad is that this seems to be relatively easy part to be recreated even from the picture with bender and bead roller, right?

I would love to have item #5 as extra support...I think that might be for 1974.

The piece I am looking for is very thick, probably 16 gauge so the little "dimples" may be tough.

I think there were some Members scraping E9 bodies - worth to check in the old messages.
