Default 55 Customline Trunk Lock Assembly

Hello - First time post.
Would someone who owns a 55 Customline (or perhaps Mainline) with the stock trunk lock be willing to take a few photos of the assy that is mounted inside and outside the trunk lid? Or provide a detailed diagram of the same. I currently have a shaved trunk with a cable pull mounted underneath the car but want to go to the stock setup. I have bought some parts from Mac's but it seems that there should be an attach plate of some kind inside the lid.
Thanks much!

The original 55 Customline trunk lock is not reproduced. There are studs on the assembly which bolt it to the trunk plus there is a big nut and tapered washer on the lock barrel which pulls the top of the assembly tight. You just have to watch eBay and they come up occasionally. The plastic insert and the gasket to seal the trunk are both reproduced.
