[DeTomaso] Deck Lid thingee needed

[Christopher Kimball]

I have one from my early '72 I was going to sell on ebay, but you should do 
what I did and get a new, one-piece, square latch (I got mine from Pantera 
Performance) which prevents the deck from shaking side to side like the 
original, round piece you describe.  It wasn't expensive and seems to work 
well.
