thank you for the pics, very helpful

A word the the wise, not all information is as helpful or correct as it may appear. 

Feel free to review the link in my sig line for the details

Agreed. There are some here that have a history of providing inaccurate information.  Hopefully, you find what you need and get to know people.

We are here to help

Couple of thoughts here. The fit on the trunk lids/end caps was marginal at best from the factory. For the latch on unrestored cars I have seen that lock rod bent to fit. Second if you are trying to make all the lace line up good luck, Factory cars rarely if ever did

Mr Lea is 100% correct never have we ever seen a 69 trunk lid line up perfectly

I ended up using the old twisted and bent link.  The new one was dead straight and bound in the lock.  I also noticed that the lock key head was binding with the fiberglass panel so I ground down the head of the key to see if that would help.
