I ran across three things in our rear trunk that seem unusual. Perhaps they are DAPO mods. Can anyone confirm?
1. What appears to be a ground strap 2. A clip at the bottom of the trunk lid 3. Small rubber grommet from the firewall. Thank you.  |

Cable likely run thru the tunnel into the cockpit. Antenna probably a clamp on, or even magnetic base that attached to rear lid. Pretty common 30+ years ago, Unless you are going for full factory stock/concours, I would leave them alone. Shows that PO put some effort into it. |
