trunk lid torsion bar holder problem
I had the same, or similar problem.
I cut a piece of 1" wide strap iron, several inches long (sorry didn't have time to measure it). I cut a groove in the end for the torsion bar to sit in and push against. I bolted it in.
I attached pics so you could get the idea. Never mind the twisted looking sheet metal thing at the top, that was some previous owners attempt at a fix but is not nearly strong enough.
