Luggage Trunk Bracket
Just a quick question for you all who have rear mounted trunks (with no spare tire) on your Town Sedans. I have a 1930 Town Sedan with two side mounts.
The car had a metal trunk in the rear. I decided to upgrade to a nicer looking wood box. Ordered a curved back black one from Snyders and mounted it yesterday. Here's the question.....when i open the lid, I can't open it far enough for the lid stay to hold the lid up. The lid hits the car body before the lid stay can lock and hold the lid up/open. Is this normal? I don't see any way to adjust the mounting brackets. (See pic) Thanks for any input/guidance. Last edited by ampico-kid; 12-26-2023 at 07:33 PM. Reason: spelling error |

Re: Luggage Truck Lid
You will probably have to get the extensions that Snyders sells as well.

Re: Luggage Truck Lid
Altho I have a spare tire on the back, I think if you "sandwich" the trunk mount between the bumper mounts (see picture) you may be able to slide it backward some. Also my inner bumper mount is flipped over compared to yours, which moves the bumperette out from under the trunk rack. I think if you play with your configuration your should be able to get it to work out for you.
More light on the left side. Last edited by Y-Blockhead; 12-26-2023 at 12:57 PM. |

Re: Luggage Trunk Bracket
On some of that type of "hold open brackets", it is possible to modify them for a shorter stroke. The lid will not open quite as much but will stay open.

That's an interesting solution. Never thought of that. Nice to know I'm not the only one who ran into this issue. Thanks. |
