Not Ranked
Bill,
I'm building a FF 289 but not highly modified as yours. The standard trunk latch setup uses a screw with a tube spacer that goes thru the trunk body lip, has the tube spacer inside between the body and frame, and a nut on the back side of a plate on the chassis. The latch swings down and catches that tube.
So, it would seem you need some sort of a bracket with a rod or tube for the latch handle to grab. That could have a slotted hole for adjustment, and mount down to the chassis rail, presuming there is one under your trunk lip.
I also had to fab new brackets to mount the door latches and weld them to the frame tube, as the mounts provided weren't even close to working with cut back doors. Some of these surprises will drive you nuts. Chill and think it thru.
