the one with yellow paint came of an original no repaint car? the others I have a hard time telling.

Have the original release out of my '69 428HO GP. (decklid was rusty in the seam so swapped on another deckid) it has no burgandy paint on it. My T-37 post has its original decklid & original trunk release, can double ck it again, but swear, no cardinal red paint. The T-37 is Pontiac plant car, the GP is Arlington plant car. Currently, I have a Lakewood (atlanta) built '71 GP parts car that still has original deckid & power trunk release, will ck it as well.

Default remote release

The side that shows on those 5 release mechs. that g68Mike posted (thanks Mike) is really the side that is almost impossible to see without really stretching. Isn't the other side the side that shows when the trunk is open?
Those pics helped though because as you can see in mine there is a broken bolt sheared off in the top hole. Also, and it worries me a little, is the hole where the actuating rod from the lock cylinder goes looks a bit hogged out compared to Mikes units. I would have blindly proceeded with the install only to realize I had to drill out the broken bolt and probably would have then installed it only to find the rod spins in this oversized hole without opening it.
Thought of swapping the non remote's "hole" but I don't think I can take this apart with those special rivets. I'll probably add some material to the rod so that it fits the hole better I guess. Mike, what do you normally sell those for? $
