Thanks Joe, It is the push button type. I just heard back from the body guy and it is indeed the driver's side of the car that was hit at one point in it's life and repaired poorly... looks like I'll also be buying a new rear fender. He did suggest I might want to look for another car to start with but my car does have very solid floors and rockers which in my experience isn't easy to find on an old Triumph. The engine is also freshly rebuilt so I would have to limit my search to a mk1 or 2 which doesn't seem easy to find. But if anyone has a good tub or body on frame with no interior or drivetrain I might also be interested in that.
As far as a new rear fender, would Spitbits be a good choice to purchase from? Thanks in advance for any leads or advice!
