[Tigers] Correct trunk hinge fasteners

[jimdamelio]

Pictured is a NOS trunk hinge.  The studs came with the hinge but no screw or nuts.  Some of the used hinges I have show no paint on the fasteners. Some do, but they have overspray on the hinge from a repaint.  Even my originals have paint from a respray before I owned it. It's hard to believe they would be painted from the factory because the hinge would have to be masked.  The other picture is the stainless hardware I will be using.Jim DSent from my Galaxy

Whether it should be painted or not, my sparse few examples are not reliable to say. It occurs to me that leaving it unpainted makes practical sense given its contact with the rubber trunk seal, which would rub off the paint over time.  -----Original Message-----From: James Lindner Sent: May 14, 2022 8:36 AMTo: Ron Fraser Cc: Allan Ballard , Subject: Re: [Tigers] Correct trunk hinge fasteners Just to confuse the matter more…there is a supposedly all-original survivor for sale on eBay. In the photo of the trunk it shows the hinge screws as NOT painted…but the studs are painted. I know the claim of all original could be suspect, but thought it was worth sharing.
